1974 – 1977 — Organizing WORT-FM in Madison, WI
These aren’t really press clippings as much as a series of images I put together for a person doing a documentary about the early days of WORT-FM, a community radio station I started in Madison, WI in the mid 70’s. But I wrote several of the articles.
A resolution of thanks from Madison Mayor Paul Soglin and the City Council for my efforts. Followed by a picture of me and John Ohliger clowning around in 1977 at my farewell party. Oh, and a great sheet cake.
