Pat DeMars, a well-known radio personality and frequent actor in local and regional theater productions, has retired, leaving Grand Forks to join his wife, Lana, at the cabin they’ve owned for years in the mountains near Blacksburg, Va.
He’s been a radio celebrity of sorts since he joined KJ108 in 1994, and has been involved in community theater for more than 30 years.
