So long! It's been fun.

Dear listeners,

This past fall I started a new job teaching Italian at Kansas State University. In some ways this is a return to my roots, as I taught English as a Foreign Language for 17 years in Italy. Now I am teaching English speakers Italian. I've come full circle.

This coming full circle also means the end of an attempt on my part to start a new career in my 50s. Sadly, as much as I tried to bring community radio to Manhattan, I was not successful. So I have decided to dedicate my energy and time to my first love, being an educator.

I will leave this website up for the couple more months. The archive of my shows will remain active until May, when I will pull the final plug on this five-year experiment.

Once again thank you for your support and encouragement over the past five years. I know many feel that my program needs to be on the air and I agree with you that a diversity of voices is sorely lacking in the local media. But alas, it is not I who will bring that diversity. It will have to be someone else.
