Don’t forget to read and listen to Bill’s KRCU publications. There’s some good stuff in there!
Wow, I could not believe how long it has been since I last tinkered with the website! My grand plan has always been to bring those classic collages back to life by transcribing articles in the old ones to give them a shiny new home online. Turns out, finding time to actually do the transcribing is the real stickler! Here’s hoping I can whip out the next one a little faster. Fingers crossed!
