My last post was dated March 14th of 2015. A lot has happened since then. A lot.....
We worked with Hyrum City in 2017 to license and build a low-power FM radio station serving the citizens of our city. It's only 100 watts but we do our best to cover civic events and play some nice music. We have listeners who tell us that we are doing the right thing and to not change a thing!
We remodeled the house (excluding the kitchen) including creating a guest suite and a basement movie room. It was an upgrade we really needed.

Devastatingly, in 2016 our son was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic (late-onset) epilepsy. You've seen him in these pages. In spite of this, he graduated from high school during the depth of COVID epidemic and was working at local metal plating company.
Of course, the epidemic affected everyone's life, worldwide. In 2021, we lost our caboose to SUDEP (Sudden Death in
Epilepsy).
In the depth of our grieving, we had to change the ownership of the radio station from Hyrum City to our little, newly-formed non-profit corporation to license and operate it.
Still much mourning. My mother passed away at 91 in 2022. I continue to press forward one day at a time.
A new roof on the house. Electric sprinklers in the yard. A completely clean and organized garage now waiting for the trailer project to resume. Lastly, after 26 years at USU (the last eighteen years at Utah Public Radio), I retired to become the only full-time worker at our little radio station
It's time to get started again to get back to work on the Scotty

Any similarities to any faces in the news IS purely intentional! |
Given all that is going on in our country, I need it now more than ever. To distract me from mourning; mourning Ryan's passing, mourning my mom's passing, and mourning about the potential passing of our great country right before our eyes!
