THE BEST OF THE OPEN LINE BULLETIN

JULY/AUGUST  PAGES 12345678

It's August and WMT's 65th anniversary celebration has faded away. Time for a little reflection of some of those 65 years. The ones which Open Line has been on the air.

The wise people who molded this radio station took a hard and expensive path to success. It is summed up in two words . . . "Full Service". What that basically means is providing useful and accurate information as well as entertainment. We hope the Open Line is a happy mixture of both. Information from how to get rid of Box Elder bugs, to how to remove crayon stains from a white shirt, to how to prepare an excellent Madeira sauce. And for entertainment, remember an episode about a pinching Italian Toilet Seat?

We want you to know we consider it a real privilege to be in your homes and cars each afternoon from 2-3. Thanks for your support for 65 years. We are working hard to keep earning it.

We need to thank the thousands of listeners that joined us for our August 1 celebration at Pioneer Village. I know a lot of you were Open Line listeners.

With all of the promotional activities surrounding WMT's 65th Anniversary I haven't been able to donate as much time to Open Line as usual. I do miss it. However, I've enjoyed working on this issue of the bulletin, and I hope you enjoy the variety of selections offered. I know there are several I look forward to trying.

We need to thank the thousands of listeners that joined us for our August 1 celebration at Pioneer Village. I know a lot of you were Open Line listeners.

Does it seem possible there are only two more issues before the year ends? I hope you've had a fun and memorable summer.
