Pavlina Osta, who appeared on the Central Florida Radio website, will be on at 8:22 a.m. to share what it is like to have brought the Guinness Book of World Records back to the United States from Italy for the most consecutive interviews in a 24 hour period. I'll join Mark for a few minutes on Monday as well. On Tuesday's show Mark talks to the children of three pioneers of the community, that we lost this year, to reflect on the character of these men and comment on their contributions to the different aspects of our way of life, something none would do because they were much too humble. Ben Aycrigg-journalism/ethical reporting, Jack Matsche-home builder from the 1950's with such high standards that are still standing today, John Land- navigated the growth of Apopka with dignity and respect (Representative Bryan Nelson will join Mark for this segment). Mark will be paying tribute to our Veterans using actual radio clips from Christmas 70 years ago, during WWII, and interviewing current day Veterans about serving our county overseas at Christmas. |
