IT was an interesting to say the least. I managed to be in the right place at the the right time to get the job. I, for many years afterwards, thought it was the best deal for me... The best job in the Army. It all came home for me in 1986 at the Vietnam Vets Welcome Home Parade in Chicago where I told by, literally, hundreds of other Vets that "the radio was the only thing that kept me sane over there... Thanks." I realized then that what I had done was bring a little bit of home to the war for all of my listeners. And that was what I did. There was absolutely NOTHING about our programming at KLIK that was military in any way. That was what set us apart from AFVN. Thanks to Blaine for the tribute. And thanks also for being a daughter I can be so proud of. Tim
I am the wife to a wonderful man named Will, and Mom to 5 amazing kids. Both Will and I were widowed before we met. We had 3 children between us when we married. We welcomed a new addition 1 1/2 years later. The pregnancy and birth were wild, so we decided to be "done". God had a different plan. We were introduced to international adoption, and started that process 11/04. We brought our 5th child home from Ethiopia 4/06. You could say our kids are Your's, Mine, Our's and Someone Else's. 8^) We are just grateful that they are all OUR'S! Someday, we will adopt from Ethiopia again. We know there is an "older child" that is meant to be part of our family. We trust that God will let us know when the time is right. Parenting is the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever taken on. I am not an expert, but I'm happy to share any insights I gain along the way. I also appreciate any tips I can glean from my readers. After all, it takes a village, right?!
