Testifying

Public radio got to me in the 1970s. I started giving not long after I started listening to WSLU, now North Country Public Radio, around the woodstove in our then communal house. I kept a weekly date with Radio Reader; I quickly became a news junkie courtesy of All Things Considered. Saturday was not complete without a visit to Lake Wobegon. Like most members I started out small, but I have kept bumping up my contributions over the years as my means have slowly increased. In good years and bad, I have always set aside something to support the station that completed my education, that enabled me to pretend that I was, if not the smartest guy in the room, then at least one of the better informed ones. Public Radio got me out of my narrow rut in music appreciation (you don't want to know) and opened me up to an eclectic world.

What has that been worth to me? A lot. The question is--what is it worth to you? Tough times are tough times, but they would be a lot tougher without public radio. Take a moment to make one of the soundest investments around. Support North Country Public Radio.
