KVMR takes a look back… John Rumsey

There are so many memories but two particularly stand out. Brian Terhorst, our General Manager required long term hospitalization with a severe case of pneumonia. Glen Farr, Board Chairman; and Dawn Fischer, Board Secretary; volunteered their time, and along with Erica Randall, formed a management triumvirate that kept the station running smoothly for several months.

Secondly several years ago during our live Saturday broadcast from the County Fair, a truck knocked down the phone lines, breaking our communication link to the station. After a number of vain attempts to wade through the phone company bureaucracy on a weekend, Eric Rice climbed the pole, sorted out the wire and made the splice and put us back on the air. Another exhibit of the can do leadership that got our new tower in the air.
