StoryCorps: Woody Bartlett & Amanda Bolster

When Reverend Woody Bartlett got married for the second time 29 years ago, he had three kids from his first marriage. His new wife, who’d also previously been married, had two kids. Together, Woody, his wife, and their five kids, tried to blend their two families into one.

At StoryCorps, Woody told his stepdaughter Amanda Bolster, about his first reaction once he became her stepdad.
