June 16th, 2019 From the messy desk of Amanda Eichstaedt… I was working in my office when I heard the siren. Just one emergency vehicle heading north out of town on Shoreline. It was time for my haircut with Barbara, the Village Snipper. The plan was to remove more of the platinum hair that has…

July 8, 2019 From the messy desk of Amanda Eichstaedt… Many of you are familiar with the familiar voice of KWMR’s Transmitter Wrangler Richard Dillman. If you call KWMR, he’s on the voicemail system.

May 21, 2019 From the messy desk of Amanda Eichstaedt… Unlike my dog Waylon, I am not a fan of digging. After an early spring rich with KWMR events, my messy desk is even messier, and I’m surrounded by boxes of event materials, pledge premiums, and things that need to be returned to the storage….

5.14.19 From the messy desk of Amanda Eichstaedt… I remember clearly back when I worked for REI in 1993. We had a super cool internal email system (this is from someone who wrote all their college papers on an IBM Selectric typewriter). And get this… we finally got fax machines in each of the retail…
