Morning Announcements for Aug 26

“Happy birthday Guthrie! Keep writing, drawing and running!” 

“Today, Tuesday, August 26th marks exactly 56 years since I tried to impress this girl named Nancy by taking her on a first date to see Johnny Cash at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand Show on Tuesday, August 26, 1969. The plan worked. We married a little over a year later in 1970, and we’ve spent all the years since together in happiness. In 2019, we made a special trip to the State Fair and had our photo taken in front of the Grandstand under Johnny Cash’s photo, just to say, ‘Thank you, Johnny.’”

“Happy 58th anniversary to Kathi from Steve, still my favorite dinner companion. Excited about new adventures in the years ahead. As you always say ‘head up, stand tall and smile,’ Cheers”

“Happy 30th anniversary to her parents Megan and Brian in North Carolina!” 

~ Gracie Stockton, Morning Edition Producer
