MaryLou Anderson aka M.L. Edson ... Thu, 03/23/2017 - 2:05pm \| Lois Richter Edson~SixRiversKiller~KDRT20170323-800x500.jpg On this episode of "That’s Life" hosted by Lois Richter, we meet MaryLou Anderson, a local artist and writer with whom Lois became acquainted at the Davis Art Center. They met while Lois was admiring MaryLou’s glasswork and got to talking; and here they continue their conversation with us on KDRT. Lois and MaryLou cover a lot of ground — from MaryLou’s pen name (M.L. Edson) to the chemical properties of dichroic glass — there is a lot to learn. Read more about MaryLou Anderson aka M.L.

Mike Pesola and Lois on "Ministry" Thu, 03/16/2017 - 2:05pm \| Lois Richter MikePesolaBedrock.jpg Mike Pesola, former KDRT host and owner of Bedrock Construction, is also a religious man. Upon occasion, his church has called him to minster to the congregation by preaching a sermon. On today's show, Lois and Mike discuss what 'ministry' means to each of them and how they prepare to speak. Although their styles of speaking are different (one planned ahead, the other inspired in the moment) and their organiizations (Baptist church and Quaker meeting) have different structures; both agree that sharing one's inspiration with others is both important and challenging. Mike observed that the very best form of ministry is LIVING YOUR LIFE in the manner you feel you should. Lois agrees that actions often speak louder than words. How do you express your spirituality? What form does your 'ministry' take? [Sorry. this recording was damaged and is not available any longer.] Read more about Mike Pesola and Lois on "Ministry" Add new comment

swinging again! Thu, 01/19/2017 - 2:05pm \| Lois Richter swing-1943-LifeMag.jpg Today I played more swing music from the 30s and 40s.

We ended up with 4 CDs, but none of the standard info about the songs. (So I can't tell you title, artist, or even album/single.) So let's just enjoy the music ... Read more about swinging again!
