Re: WNRC-FM DJ was RI fire victim

["Peter Q. George" <radiojunkie3@yahoo.com>]

It has been a horrible few days for everyone.  It
really hits home.  I am the Chief Engineer at WNRC-FM
and know how much these wonderful people at Nichols
College are trying to cope with the tragic loss of
their friend.  The past weekend was especially
sobering for them.  It was supposed to be the weekend
of the annual WNRC Radiothon.  The student staff did
the best they could do to continue and dedicated the
entire event in Jim's name.  In addition to being a
college station, the station has a strong presence in
the local Dudley/Webster community as well.  The staff
and students at WNRC are strong and will do the best
they can, to go on.  It's all they can do. My thoughts
and prayers are with them as always.
