KSPR's Surviving The Storm And Yours Truly

KSPR -33 will be presenting Surviving The Storm on Sunday, April 5th at 5pm. Senior Meteorologist Kevin Lighty dedicated part of this special to SkyWarn. Jim Sellars and I were interviewed and the 3 1/2 minute segment is now on YouTube. Kevin Lighty and team did a great job with this piece, and did great justice to SkyWarn and Amateur Radio. Thanks for not making me look like a dork, Kevin. At least I don't think I look like a dork. I guess you can be the judge.
