Here is a letter from Mason who says,
“I lived in Maine for 9 wonderful, soulful and eye opening years. I came from the south, no not Portland but Atlanta, and found myself and who I was, in Maine.
You were a big part of that.
On Friday nights, because my tv had given out and I didn't want to pay for the cable to be strung down our road to my house, I listened to you and then the late Ed Bradley and Jazz from Lincoln Center while I tied my Caddis flies for the upcoming summer.
I have since moved away from Maine, but think about it daily and miss it with a broken heart.
Today I went onto the Maine Public Radio site to see if I could still hear your show on Friday nights.
It made me sad to see that your show was no longer in the line-up.
You were the best show on there!
The humor and jazz were the perfect ending to a work week. I will miss your show always and look back on it as part of my growing into who I am today.
Mason”
Mason, you are speaking for many people. Some friends have told me they decided to move to Maine after hearing my show. I have been told by many people that I changed their lives. Remember that you have also changed my life.
This is the kind of letter that made that makes my 28 years as an unpaid producer for Maine Public Radio worth while. Thank you for making my day, Mason. Your buddy humble
