GUEST: Audrey Korte
Born at Fort Riley in Kansas in 1981 and raised as an Army brat and Episcopal clergy kid, I had an upbringing like no other. Dad's family, a large Roman Catholic crew from Emporia and Arkansas City, grew up poor but determined and he and all six siblings went on to do great things. It's a family story of service to community and country that many in the Midwest could relate to -- an American tale of determination, of pulling a family out of poverty that many of us in 2025 long for but find difficult to bring to fruition in the face of the economics and corruption we now face.
My mother, a lifelong Anglican raised in the Episcopal Church, grew up in Newport, Rhode Island and I consider both Kansas and Rhode Island home as much as one can who has moved as many times as I have. She likes to tell a story of running off to Kansas for college as a young woman because her best friend was going there. She went on an adventure to the middle of America and met my dad within the first month she was at the University of Kansas, where he too was a student.
