ON THE HOME PAGE OF KMAQ, www.kmaq.com, YOU CAN CLICK ON THE "MEET THE EMPLOYEES" PAGE AND SEE A PICTURE OF ALL THE STAFF MEMBERS OF KMAQ, INCLUDING PICTURES OF THREE FAIRLY NEW EMPLOYEES, ROBERT BRUNO, HIS SON JOE, AND NATE CLASEN. NATE IS MY GRANDSON. AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, A NEW "PAST EMPLOYEE GUEST BOOK" HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. IF YOU EVER WORKED FOR KMAQ, BE SURE TO MAKE AN ENTRY.
ON KMAQ'S REGULAR "GUEST BOOK" THESE DAYS, SOME POLITICAL ENTRIES.
YES...NOT THE PLACE FOR THOSE, BUT LIKE MANY OTHERS NOT MENT FOR IT.....THE BEST THING TO DO IS IGNORE THEM....AND CONTINUE ON WITH WHAT THE BOOK IS MENT FOR.
THE LONG ENTRIES YOU AND I DON'T CARE FOR CAN BE SKIPPED OVER AND SOON DISAPPEAR. SO AGAIN...THE BEST ADVICE..."IGNORE-DON'T COMMENT-AND GO ON WITH YOUR ENTRY".
NO BIRTHS OR DEATHS.
