The better part of my professional life has been comprised of radio news.  I have had the privilege to tell stories, big and small; stories that made a difference in policy - or change in personnel; stories that introduced my listenership to people who deserved attention; stories of how our government works - many positive, others not; stories that just might have made some people think about an issue from a different point of view; stories of life and stories of death. Each has been unique.  Each deserved a voice.
