Sandra Day O'Connor and her son, Scott O'Connor.

In 2013, the StoryCorps MobileBooth parked outside Phoenix Art Museum to record stories from everyday people.

One of those stories was a conversation with Sandra Day O’Connor. She and her eldest son, Scott O’Connor, came to StoryCorps Phoenix to talk about Sandra’s early life. 

Sandra grew up in a rural town on a working ranch. Before her judicial career, she spent her childhood riding horses and raising cattle.
