I am blue with you. “Local” was the feature that always made radio unique among other mediums. Most larger markets still have local news, but radio added the unique ability to connect the community with local folks like yourself, sharing laughs and sorrows, and in the case of Christian radio – walking the faith life together. I miss them already and deeply. - Dolores King-St. George Very sad to see them go. Listened for many years. - Tom Sanford Yes, very disappointing the morning show is no longer. Miss the community it brought together. Now it’s general. Progress, I guess. - Rebecca Arce Rizzuti Franklin Graham: The Gospel – A Matter of Life or Death By Franklin Graham, President and CEO, Samaritan’s Purse and Billy Graham Evangelistic Association We Get Letters PUBLISHER . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6 New York, New York – by Leslie J.
