I enjoyed listening to OPB out of Corvallis.

Before OPB became less about music and more about news, I would listen to OPB 550 AM out of Corvallis. I appreciated their heavy news programming content. But when the FM content change occurred, I made the switch to FM.

It may have been mentioned on OMI earlier in the year, but Golden Hours is going dark after a number of years. For those of you who don’t know, Golden Hours was a service for the blind and homebound, provided by OPB. For a little over a year in the mid 90’s, I was a regular volunteer at Golden Hours. Every Sunday morning for a year, and friend and I would host the early morning program, reading stories from the Sunday Oregon, the New York Times, the AP and TV Click. It was a great experience and I appreciated working with some very friendly and hardworking people. Among them was Jerry DeLaunay, manager of Golden Hours. He was a terrific guy and I appreciated his enthusiasm. He welcomed new volunteers with open arms and gave this volunteer a perfect opportunity to work as a broadcaster, volunteer or not. I wish Jerry and all the Golden Hours staff all the best in their new endeavors.
