Yesterday, my voice was transmitted over the airwaves of our local NPR station, WHQR 91.3 FM. As a guest commentator in the station’s Communique department, I read a short essay about standing a night watch on the Schooner Anne and seeing myself in perspective with the world around me (readers of Going Aloft might recognize the setting). I had a great time recording this piece, and my hope is that this is only the first of many little snapshots of life I get to read on the air. Thanks to Gina Gambony and Vince Winkel for this wonderful opportunity.

Enjoy!

Hi John, I really enjoyed hearing your reading at 4:44 on June 29th as well as the piece you wrote for Encore about your trip on the schooner Anne. I look out for her on my river walks or when I’m driving across the Isabel Holmes bridge and try to imagine all the stories she could tell.

Hey Paula! Thanks very much for listening. Anne certainly has enough stories to fill several books; I’m trying to transcribe as many of them as I can :). Good to hear from you! Hope you’re doing well.
