Phone conversation with Midge. She reported she’s talked with the appropriate administrator at UCCS and, in principle, it has been OK’ed that D & I teach some sort of class at the / through the university. She also talked about it happening that Shelf Life Blues will be pod-cast.  It is surprising for me, the level of Midge’s excitement and enthusiasm regarding the show, regarding D and myself. I surmise several vectors converge for her into this particular point. First off, she clearly loves radio. Secondly, she does have a vision that ISAMI become a community resource, a forum for Voice and Education. Thirdly, she is excited about the quality and content of SLB. Fourth, this is the raw material of her dissertation. Fifth, it’s a venue to gain voice and community for herself. Sixth, she likes us, she wants relationship with us.

This connection with Midge and ISAMI is Golden. I must act upon all the opportunities it affords me.
