Good morning from Collegeville,
A beautiful sunny morning. 135 folks showed up for breakfast at Chamber Connection this morning, hosted by Midsota Plastic Surgeons, under a tent. One of the many great things that they do is to organize a trip to South America each spring to perform reconstructive surgery on children. If you are looking for a way to give back, check out their website www.helpsintl.org
I will be in Bozeman next Friday, so there will not be a weekly note. Our classical music station, KWRV 91.9, has been serving Sun Valley, Idaho and the Wood River Valley since 1993. I plan to fly in to Sun Valley on Sunday and I will work there on the first three days and drive the rental car to Bozeman on Thursday. I will be spending time with Aunt Maggie and enjoying the mountain air.
Sun Valley was created by Averell Harriman and the Union Pacific Railroad in the thirties as a destination ski area. Mr. Harriman had sent an Austrian Count to travel the western United States in search of a place to start a ski resort. When he arrived in Ketchum, Idaho, the Count wired back that it was better than anything in Europe. The Union Pacific purchased a 3,000 acre ranch for $39,000 and they built the Sun Valley Lodge. They also invented the chair lift in Sun Valley.
The show this week, (heard in Sun Valley at 4 PM on Saturday) is a special New York City compilation show with some of Gotham’s go-to guests, including Bronx born comedian Robert Klein, Broadway stars Walter Bobbie, Faith Prince, Kristin Chenoweth and Tony Roberts plus Robin and Linda Williams. Enjoy the show.
