In the PHOTO GALLERY, his daughter June Griffin comes to the Southwest Virginia Museum in Big Stone Gap, to accept an award for Dr. Griffin's induction into the museum's Walk of Fame, and she speaks candidly about the father she met at 24, and spent the rest of his life, getting to know him.
It is a moving interview about the importance of family, forgiveness, and coming to grips with the sacrifices that are sometimes made for the sake of children.
