Thanks.
You know who you are, and you know why I’m thanking you.
Have a happy day, wherever you are.
Meanwhile, I wrote a little something for the paper’s annual “Why I Give Thanks” section.
It starts like this:
Four days before I graduated from Ripon College, I drove down Tower Road in Waupaca and walked into the offices of WDUX Radio.
I sat down with Morgan Marti, the station manager, and told him I was looking for my first job in the “real world” and thought I might be able to help WDUX.
“That depends,” Marti said with an enigmatic smile. “What can you do?”
I talked about my experience as program director for the student radio station at Ripon and my love for music and —
“Nope, we don’t need another disk jockey,” he said. “What else you got?”
