[grc] Invitation: Wake for Lorenzo Milam - Community Radio Guru

[Dawn Jewell]

*Lorenzo Milam- A Wake for an Inspiring Rapscallion!*



*Please save the date: *



*Sat, August 15th, 4 p.m. Pacific Time til the wee hours -*



We will hold an online wake to memorialize community radio legend Lorenzo
Milam. Lorenzo passed away at the age of 86 on July 19th in Pueblo
Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico. Lorenzo was a leader in community radio,
disability rights, publishing, and half a dozen other pursuits. There are
many radio stations still broadcasting today which he helped to launch
either directly or through the guidance of his writings.



We will be using Zoom (login info below) for the event, and (since Lorenzo
was a radio guy, and a bunch of people attending are radio people) you are
welcome to take the audio from that and project it through the aether even
beyond the videoconference. Use your imaginations!


There will be an open time for everyone to share their memories. If you
have something in particular you would like to have a few scheduled minutes
for on the program, drop us a line.



Lorenzo touched a giant heap of people’s lives. A lot of people will
probably want to share something. For the open period, please pick one
story to tell, and try to keep it to 87 seconds— one second for every year
of his life. We will not be time-fascists about it… but please be
considerate to the many people who will likely have something to share and
won’t get to be heard if we have too many ramblers in our midst. If you’d
like to share a longer story in writing, you can send it to: petri at imarad.io
and we can compile them together to share.



Questions? Want to receive further notifications about this? Want to join
the ad hoc committee organizing this event? contact: petri at imarad.io



thanks,

pete tridish
