Category: WERU 25th Memories

John once had a chance to drive the great reporter Helen Thomas to the airport.

Becky McCall was WERU’s first full time office manager, and a volunteer programmer on Morning Maine and the 9:00 folk block. Becky thought a Morning Maine feature she did had fallen flat but then found out it fooled her radio hero!

Phil Norris was not only one of WERU’s very first folk programmers, he also literally “set the stage” on WERU’s Sign-on Day.

David Snyder, who worked to help create WERU and who was the station’s first Program Director, remembers a glitch in getting the WERU transmitter to the top of Blue Hill way back when.
