"Radio-Active" means making Northwest Public Radio part of his Legacy

Yes, I am "RadioActive"—an inveterate, and veteran, fan and advocate of public radio, Northwest Public Radio in particular. In 40 years of listening (still counting) I have been enlightened, entertained and inspired by what I hear. Often my conversations with friends and family hinge on the news, interviews and great music we share thanks to Public Radio. Wherever I travel, a first priority is to locate the signal that brings familiar programs and voices to me as one of the countless international listeners that depend on Public Radio.

So, it is natural to act out my enthusiasm by committing time, money, and legacy planning to Northwest Public Radio. In this accessible, direct way I can contribute to the betterment of my community and, even, my world.

Yes, I am "RadioActive."
