This was another busy week. Monday and Tuesday, I had the pleasure of meeting (by phone) Buss Cravener of the Back Street Diner (Clarion, PA). Buss is a kindred spirit with a rich background, including working as a TV weatherman in Parkersburg, WV and holding multiple degrees from Clarion University of Pennsylvania. In part due to a referral by our mutual friend Steve Obenreder, Buss tuned into our maiden voyage aboard 91.7 WCUC Clarion. He's since become an SLB underwriter, supporter, and SLB Bugler distribution point.
Wednesday was a long and successful work day with Darren Morton, station manager at WCUC and all-around incredible human being. Darren designed and installed wiring to make it simpler to broadcast from anywhere in the museum and also helped us tackle a list of small technical issues. He'll be back tomorrow to finish up.
Kimberly, our Washington & Jefferson College intern, was here today. Hosting a high school or college intern is something we take very seriously -- we want to be sure we can provide good mentoring and significant experiences. Although she's been to SLB a few times prior to today, those visits were more like field trips. Her first working day was today and she did an outstanding job. As has often been the case with interns I've had the pleasure to work with, Kim finished what I thought would be about 4 hours worth of work in less than half the time I had estimated.
We have a great program planned for 2/16. Please feel free to add any comments here.

Thank you so much, Larry, for the highlight on the blog. And, what a great show this week! I found myself wanting to respond during every segment, this; due to the fact that I've been on the planet for a long time and so many things trigger the memory. Living and working in Clarion, a college community, my recollections are often met with blank stares or questions, which I prefer, as it gives me the oppportunity to 'splain it to them and thereby; provide me a trip down memory lane.
The BackStreet Cafe (my restaurant) is proud and enthusiastic to underwrite SLB.....it is "right up our alley"! We are lookig forward to a long and lasting relationship.
Thanks, Buss, the pleasure is ours. It was wonderful to hear from so many Clarion-area listeners today. Please don't ever hesitate to call and participate when a puzzle or a feature inspires you to share some memories or insights.
