Volunteer of the Year, Ron Sears



The Annual Meeting was a wonderful success. Thank you to Mrs. Kim and her staff for preparing another wonderful meal for the Kodiak Public Broadcasting Corporation membership. This is the 14th year the 2nd Floor has hosted our event.
Special recognition at the meeting went to Jim (Cowboy) Cobis, long time host of "The Peace Train" every Monday morning between 9 and 10 a.m. He will be relocating in the spring. Mark Herrick, on-air host and engineer extraordinaire was also thanked for his dedication and hard work. He has put in numerous hours working on our new HD program, being called in to help at all hours. Mark, Joe Stevens and Mike Wall have been working very hard to keep things going smoothly. We apologize for any gliches, the system is a work in progress.

Morning Announcer Mike Murray is moving on. He will be leaving the island and we wish him the best on his new island. Lori Siebe (me) is also moving on, heading south to spend time with family. I will be back on the island one day, and look forward to hosting a show every now and again then.

New to the staff, Jacob Resneck joins the news staff. Ron Sears is KMXT's Volunteer of the year for 2009. Ron serves on KMXT's Board of directors as well as filling in as host of Island Time and Jock of the Rock, this boy deserves a medal. Thanks Ron for your support of the station on the air and behind the scenes. (Pictured top Mike Murray and Bill BBQ masters at 2008 Run the Rock, Mark Herrick in the Engineering room at KMXT)
