ONTONAGON As Jan Tucker’s retirement approached, people sent her memories of the radio show.
One woman came by Tucker’s house with a folder full of yellowing recipes her aunt had jotted down from her radio program in the ’60s. Another remembered waking up in the morning as a child and hearing her mother and aunt listening to the show and talking.
“I suppose that when they listened as kids, with their parents listening, it’s a tie with history with them,” Tucker said. “It’s a tie with their families … some of them, it’s the news. Some of them it’s the recipes. Some of them is just the jokes and helping them laugh.”
