Cherrie Groves holiday greetings!

"All I can say is that picture of Atchie gives me the chills. It confirms my beliefs I am right where I belong. 75 degrees and sunny on the day after Thanksgiving brightens my holidays. Happy Holidays to all. May you be warm in your hearts wherever you are. "

Meck on radio!

Hi, I volunteer with VoiceCorps, a Columbus radio station providing programming to blind and visually-handicapped listeners. One of the things I do with VoiceCorps is conduct taped conversations for airing at a later date on "The Morning Exchange" talk show. The show runs daily at 11 am and repeated at 11 pm.

I am on twice next week:

Tuesday, November 7 (Election Day) , Bill Cohen (BHS'66) joins me for a visit to a 1960's Coffeehouse as we look back at those turbulent times. Cohen also sings a few folk songs, as well as talks about his days growing up in Bexley during the '60's.

Thursday, November 9, Columbus musician Arnett Howard talks about his music, his work with schoolkids and the elderly, and about other aspects of his life.

So, be sure to join us for the shows.

Thanks.
