Loss of Former Program Host Has Our Hearts Heavy This Week

LarryAlfordClsUpPortrait
We got word yesterday that the former program host for “Spoonful,” Larry Alford, passed away suddenly on Sunday in St. Thomas, USVI, where he was managing a guest villa for the season. We are still coming to terms with this unexpected loss and forever thankful for the time we had Larry on-board as a contributing programmer for this community radio station. All our support and strength goes out to his loving companion, Amelie Calvinisti.

The National Federation of Community Broadcasters has prepared a statement on impacts of the CPB closure. Click to read it.
