TODAY, I DID "DEWITT CALLING" FROM "MARTHA'S CAFE" IN
DEWITT, CLOSING THIS SATURDAY AFTER 44 YEARS.
A POPULAR PLACE! SHE
AT RIGHT, IS RETIRING.
WHEN SHE STARTED, HAMBURGERS WERE 25 CENTS.
SHE HAS GONE IN AT 3 EACH MORNING TO BAKE PIES AND
THEN OPEN AT 5. NEVER MARRIED BUT HAD A LONGTIME
FRIEND WHO HELPED HER AND
DIED 3 YEARS AGO. ONE MORE PHOTO BELOW. HER BUILDING HAS BEEN SOLD AND WILL BE USED FOR SOME OTHER BUSINESS. "DEWITT CALLING" HAS BEEN ON-THE-AIR ON KMAQ-AM FOR AROUND 45 YEARS. AT FIRST, WAS DONE BY A LOCAL HOST RIGHT IN THE CITY. BUT I HAVE DONE IT AT THE STUDIO FOR AT
LEAST THE LAST 25 YEARS, MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY FROM 11:05 UNTIL 11:20 A.M. I KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT DEWITT AS MAQUOKETA, ALMOST. THE SHOW IS
NOT JUST FOR DEWITT, BUT ALSO FOR THE RURAL AREA OF CLINTON COUNTY AND THE SMALL TOWNS OF THE COUNTY.
