Yo,
Recall Glen broadcasted weekly(from his parent's home?). Jill used to work
with them in the DC area, a weekly broadcast. She used to PR us frequently.
Looks like he lives/works at Yellow Springs.
I found this:
"Greg's Point of View

commentary on National Public Radio member station WYSO 91.3 FM in Yellow
Springs OH. The commentaries air on a show called "Sounds Local," hosted

Ohio. Greg's material is often presented to NPR and he aspires to reach a
national audience with his fresh personal perspective on issues.

Don't know about the weekly stuff now.
Small world: one of my buddies (he was doing counseling with the Dept. of
Navy) was trying to get me interested a few years back in something about
Alcoholism and Disability, your buddy might know him.

Yeah, Steve, what's this about Yellow Springs. My buddy, the head of the

grew up in Yellow Springs.
