That’s a Wrap!

Rest in Peace JR
I woke up this morning to some shocking news: Jim Reitz,who was known to many as JR on Fun 107, has passed away. To say I was shocked would be the proverbial understatement. He had just started as the morning man at WPLM Easy 99.1 last Monday. I was happy for him because he was back…
