We’ll talk with Jacque Boucher about Tidal Echoes; Keith Wertheimer about Thanksgiving Dooner for veterans; Joe Geldoff, Jan Rumble & Rorie Watt will be here to let us check up on next Saturday’s Chicks vs. Geezers hockey game.

We’ll get the details on the UAS Evening At Egan presentation tonight with guest, Nicholas Galanin; we’ll talk with Haines writer, Heather Lende, in town for a book signing tomorrow at Hearthside Books; Pete Griffin will be here with details about Saturday’s Tellabration event at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center; and Chris Cairns from NAMI will be here with Sondra Sexton-Jones to talk about Saturday’s International Survivors of Suicide Day.
We’ll find out about the Juneau Lyric Opera’s presentation of La Boheme, opening this weekend at McPhetres Hall; we’ll talk with filmmaker Todd Jones about the extreme film, ONE FOR THE ROAD, showing this Friday at the JACC; we’ll get the details about Saturday’s Trail Mix Dinner & Auction,and we’ll find out how to help families this Thanksgiving.
John Dunker will join host Rich Moniak in a live telephone interview with Doug Rawlings from Maine. Doug is one of founding members of VFP. Like John, he served in Vietnam. John was instrumental in establishing Juneau’s chapter of VFP.
What most people probably don’t know is VFP was founded in 1985, not during the Vietnam war or as a result of the Iraq war. And locally most people are only familiar with John and other veterans as activists. So the discussion will center around the VFP story on a group level while also pieces of Doug and John’s individual narratives. The idea is to offer listeners a portrait of VFP’s commitment to peace through personal stories.
