Jim,

Nice logging “in the graveyard.” Some spooky things happen on those channels. 

Hopewell, VA is actually my birthplace—my family lived there until I was six 
years old. I’ve visited once since then, and found it to a beautiful “small 
town America” kind of place. I think a big part of the magic is radio is 
getting to virtually visit places like that. 

There’s always hope, as long as there is Hopewell.
