Doctor Margaret Harlan from the Rose M. Nolen Black History Library in Sedalia called in to chat with us about the service that the library offers.

It has been a great pleasure to bring news updates over the course of 16 years. There are so many stories that have been covered that were either fun to do or serious to our area. 16-years has flown by in a blink of an eye, but these stories have stood out and rank in the Top 10 of the Townsquare Media years. We have documented data, but some of these were my favorites too.

The Blast From Sedalia Radio Past continues on this week. 16-years-ago, in 1999, I was hired by Paul Aberli to do weekends on what was then Today's Best Hits FM 92, Today's Best Country KIX 105 and Sedalia's Voice, Sedalia's Choice KSIS.

This week has been a great last week for me so far. I've had the opportunity to bring back some of our friends for a little blast from past.

This week I thought it would be fun to bring back some of our voices from the past and find out what they are up to with my final day on Friday, December 11. I know each of them you loved over the years on Better Country KIX 105, 92.3 Bob-FM and Newstalk 1050 KSIS.
