As a teenager, Frankie Lewchuck recorded an audio diary about his family in rural Alabama. 16 years later, he recorded a follow up story for the Teenage Diaries Revisited series:
“I went from being on the front page for football, representing my itty-bitty school, to being on the front page as a thief and a meth head.”
A lot of life happens in 16 years.
