The Stray

Most families have their share of favorite stories. Like a pair of jeans, a family's lore only seems to get better with time and wear. Naturally, these stories are told and retold: We laugh about them over dinner, cry about them over coffee. We tell them anew to kids and grandkids and close family friends over dusty photo albums or old family movies. But we don't all get a chance, like the real Mitch Davis does, to share our most dramatic stories with complete strangers.
