legacy kendera so this is it? this is my legacy? .... 010713 ... luck is green all of ours 010713 ... tender_square i got an email from the new station manager, asking whether, as an alum, i'd be interested in joining a committee to plan for the 40th anniversary. well, it wasn't a message sent just to me, i was bcc'ed with a whole bunch of others, but you get the idea. i was coming around to it, too. i don't have much going on and i'm good at organizing things and creating systems that could potentially help with pledge drive. at the end of the message he included a documentary someone made about the station back in 2018. i'm not in it, i was never asked for an interview, and since i wasn't living in the city anymore it made sense. but this guy i knew, this full-of-himself guy who fancied himself a huge events promoter and champion of local music was. he worked for the station once too, after my tenure. he said the staff there hadn't really come together until after the station switched frequencies, that the sound that defined them came into being thereafter. it's a load of shit. he wasn't even a staff member when that happened. i was, and my colleagues were too. we were a team that tried to get the community and campus to take the station more seriously. we were responsible for the dial change, the switch from unprotected to protected status. the successes that guy was talking about during his time would not have been possible if it wasn't for our work that came before. it's bothered me so much that i've been second-guessing whether i should help the station at all. it was bad enough to be overlooked as a young woman working in radio fifteen years ago, why should i tolerate this rewriting of history? but it doesn't even matter. why should i be so adamant about correcting the record? is this really the thing that i want to be my legacy? i capable of so much more than that, something that's my own. 230128 what's it to you? who go blather from
