Radio Quote
of the Month: “Radio is a

((Sounds a lot

On Saturday, June 2, NJARC members attended a memorial service for
Charles Blanding along with many of his friends and family.
A highlight of this 'celebration of his life' was a heartfelt (and
funny!) tribute by his friend Allan
Sniffen (of "Rewound
Radio" fame)
recounting Charles' lifelong fascination with radio and some of his
adventures - and misadventures - as a kid.
