The first episode of the Goodman Family Oral History Podcast explores the roots and upbringing of the family patriarch, Thomas Jerome Goodman. The conversation, led by his daughter, Tonya, delves into his childhood in West Norfolk, Virginia, his relationship with his parents, and the values instilled in him. He reflects on his mother's strict but fair parenting style, his father's career as a merchant seaman, and the hardworking lifestyle they maintained. The episode also highlights family traditions, memories of growing up without modern conveniences, and the influence of various relatives, such as Uncle Willie, on his upbringing. Thomas shares personal anecdotes about chores, school, and early work experiences, painting a vivid picture of his early years and the strong family bonds that shaped him.
