This is Kevin Rader.  I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone described as a person of few words.  That is rare thing these days.  Usually everyone has something to say and now have an internet podium to say it.  But what happens when both of those worlds collide.   That is what I found recently and I have to say it was an interesting albeit brief exchange.  I found it so interesting that I decided to share it as the first installment,  as we mark the beginning of our third season,  of the Tales from Auburn Creek.  It’s entitled “The Locals."

For years I was told you just need to move on, put it all behind you.  Now after sharing so much of my childhood I feel like I finally can.  It is not an easy story to tell.  It was even more trying to live through but now it will finally come to an end. With the 26th episode from The Tales from Auburn Creek I will have put it all out there, not for personal gain but hopefully to benefit of all of you who took the time to listen.   I always knew when this project began how it would end. “The Moment” is still as vivid to me 50 years later as it was the day it took place.  If there was one time, one moment I could point to where the past intersected with the future it was here.   So now I will share that moment with you in the 26th installment of The Tales from Auburn Creek entitled “The Moment.”

[by Kevin Rader] He was the kind of teacher you would always hope your children would have. I never realized how fortunate I was until my later years. Looking back he served his country and his students well which ai hope to capture in my latest installment of The Tales from Auburn Creek entitled “Reform the Rows.”

This is Kevin Rader and welcome to The Tales from Auburn Creek. I know a lot of time has passed since our last installment. A lot of life has passed since then as well. I wanted to take some time to do other things and most importantly I didn't want my writings to be forced. I needed the stories to continue to write themselves. It seems that enough time has passed for me to start the final stretch of this series. With that said we start out with a Tales from Auburn Creek Bonus Episode. It involves America's Sport which used to mean baseball. I will explain in this TAC Extra entitled America's Sport.

by Kevin Rader One wanted to be President. The other wanted to be a College Football Head Coach. They both got what they wanted. That brings us to the latest installment of the Tales from Auburn Creek entitled 'The President and the Coach".

"I always imagined after my Aunt Debbie passed away that Jesus would greet her with these simple words.  "Thank you for treating one of mine as one of yours."   Because that is exactly what she did.  She took in a wayward teenage boy and provided a foundation for him to build on. Now 50 years later a friend who has only known me for a year recently called to ask if the name 'Debbie' meant anything to me.  That phone call and the memories it brought back are the crux of the latest installment of the Tales from Auburn Creek entitled "The Decision."

Life decisions can be a quirky deal.  Sometimes you don't even know the decision you made was actually a life decision until a majority of life is behind you.  In this Bonus Installment of the 'Tales from Auburn Creek' I reflect on one such instance that spanned over thirty years.  It's entitled "The Call." Please SHARE for additional episodes to continue.

by Kevin Rader It was the 70’s. It was long before cell phones and the internet but we still found ways to communicate. We still had landlines and the radio which leads me to the latest installment of the Tales from Auburn Creek entitled “This Time.”

by Kevin Rader How many times in your life have you thought "wow", what just happened could really be a scene from a movie. It is just hard to believe. Well this is a story about one of those incidents. It is too good not to share. Hope you enjoy this installment from the second season of the Tales from Auburn Creek entitled “Economics.” Rader Media & Marketing LLC. www.radermediallc.com

Some things are a lot clearer with hindsight.  That is certainly the case with the very first trip I ever made to Denver, Colorado.  Back in 70’s you had to take a required FCC Test to get a third class license if you wanted to be on the radio.  So my boss made arrangements for me to go take it.  Hence the latest installment in the second season of the Tales from Auburn Creek entitled, “Denver.”

We have all seen things we wish we could unsee or better yet, forget. But for whatever reason we cannot. Part One of the Season Two of Tales from Auburn Creek is just such a dilemma. Hope you enjoy 'The Unfair'. Please share and comment on your favorite episodes on your social media platforms.

There usually is something that reminds us of our childhood that still reverberates inside of us when are become adults.  For me there are more than a few but the latest installment of The Tales from Auburn Creek has a more innocent tone about it.  Most of us were socially awkward at that age and that feeling never seems to leave us.  Sure we outgrow it but it’s still there at least it is for me as you will hear in this segment entitled “The Dance.”Music by Alanna Rader

One question you always get when you work in the media is how did you get started in the business?  Most will tell you about getting experience during college and then an internship and so on and so on.  Mine started much earlier than that.  As I have always said God made sure I was fed but he was about to teach me how to fish and that changed everything as you hear in this installment of the Tales from Auburn Creek entitled Jim.

Some might refer to it as a day of reckoning.  Others might say it was a blessing.   Without a doubt it was one of the most painful times of my life but it was also an answer to my prayers.  This is the latest installment from The Tales from Auburn Creek entitled “An End as Well as a Beginning.” Music "Highway Traveler" by Alanna Rader Episode Copyright Rader Media & Marketing, LLC.

There is a slight twist in the latest installment in the Tales from Auburn Creek.  Just like there is often times in life. It was really just happenstance.  You write it, then you try to think of a name for the story and there it is. The title just brings it all together. So goes the latest installment entitled “The Drink.” ”Music "Highway Traveler" by Alanna Rader Episode Copyright Rader Media & Marketing
