Robert! So pleased for you and looking forward to a Bethesda dinner event when you return!
Much love and Merry Christmas! – Louise, Dick and Christina (who’s going to Rome in two weeks)
I was very pleased when I learned about your getting the NPR job. I’ve always had the idea that NPR doesn’t value the hourlies highly enough, but your experience and efforts should change that. Those newscasts are as responsible as any of the daily programs for maintaining the network’s cumulative audience. May you make it grow. Congratulations and best wishes.
Thank you, Steve! I appreciate the kind and gracious words. The newscasts are a HUGE part of what makes NPR, NPR. It’s the single most listened-to product at National Public Radio. If it has been the red-headed stepchild (apologies to all red-headed step children)…it will be no longer. And that’s not just me talking. That’s what the folks who hired me strongly believe- or I wouldn’t be going there.
I now have a blog and want to put you on my blogroll, since you are a such good read and I want to introduce you to my friends. .Not sure of the netiquette, but I figured I should ask first. Here it is, if you want to take a gander: http://redaroundtherink.wordpress.com/
Welcome aboard! Looking forward to working with you.
Likewise, Jack!

What a perfect fit.
You’re going to be working with Jack Speer? Now THAT’S cool.

This red headed step child is not offended. I have thick skin, thin hair, but thick skin!
Well done Robert! You always land on your feet and make a difference in the radio news world. How do you like the job so far?
Best,
Donna
