Here At The Studios

Listeners never know who they will hear on “Shirl and You.” Ruth Graham was interviewed recently. Yes, she is the daughter of Billy Graham. Shirl asked her how her Dad was. “ He doing good, “ she said. “To talk to him you’d think he was 72, not 92, and he is planning some preaching dates.”

Another guest on “Shirl and You,” was Mark Hamby. He is director of “Lamplighter,” a drama being aired on WRGN on Sundays at 7:00 p.m. Radio dramas is loved by WRGN listeners.

We went from interviews to a favorite Pie Crust recipe. Janice Straub, Palmerton, said she had trouble making pie crust until she found the following recipe. Stir together ½ cup of oil, with ¼ cup of milk, Add two cups of flour, form into a ball and roll out between waxed paper. Its flaky, tender and rich.

Jean Alaniz, of Kingston Township, called and while getting acquainted with WRGN secretary, Judie May, she learned they were cousins from way back.

Used wheel chairs, canes, crutches and walkers are being collected at WRGN's Yard Sale. They will be given to Joni's "Wheels For The World Project" that benefits the handicapped the world over. Electric chairs are not being accepted. Call WRGN 800-245-3688, or the Saxe Farm, 864-3222.

Al and Phyllis Surridge, Old Forge, stopped by the studios with pizza from the “Pizza Capital of the World,” their hometown. It was delicious!

The free DVD showing the ministry of WIVH, proved to be a popular item here. We have sent out 34 of them and that means many more people have had a good look at what’s happening through the ministry of our sister station, WIVH, in the West Indies, all for the glory of God.

Emma Fink, Lehighton, talked to Shirl when the subject was birds. She recalled how she believed a bird sat singing a message of assurance to her. “The Lord was talking to me through a bird that sat on a wire above the barn door. It was as if it was saying, ‘It’s o.k. to retire, Emma.’ ” She did and she’s been glad ever since.

We talked to Selina Charles who lives in Plymouth but who previously lived in Antiqua in the West Indies. She has family in St. Croix and St. Thomas. She listens to WRGN and hears people from the West Indies call in, through the miracle of radio. It truly is a small world.

If you see someone traveling in the Scranton area in her Jazzy, it could be Florence Posten. She’s been disabled, but that doesn’t stop her from getting around town.

Visitors are always welcome at WRGN studios. We hope to see you here!
