WOW!
What an amazing experience to be on WBZ 1030 AM with master of talk radio, Jordan Rich. Thank you so much to WBZ and especially to Jordan for allowing us to share Steven's Story with the WBZ listeners and help continue to educate the community about stroke. Thank you also to Dr. Matthew Tilem from Lahey's Stroke Program (which received a "Gold" achievement award from the American Stroke Association) for adding his medical expertise to the hour-long interview (you can read a stroke story and see a picture of Dr. Tilem here: http://www.lahey.org/pdf/Medical/HeartVascular/MeetingtheChallenge.pdf).
The evening began when I picked up Tom Moore, Steven's former co-worker at Wellington and longtime friend and the person responsible for coordinating the interview, from his Derry, NH home. We spent the long drive into WBZ, both nervous, discussing our interview strategies.
After surviving the scare of hundreds of bats flying out of the trees that lined the WBZ building directly above us as we walked in, Jordan quickly put us at ease with his smile, warmth and welcoming demeanor. Unexpectedly, Jordan gave us a tour of the WBZ studios. Imagine my surprise when I saw Barry Burbank, WBZ meteorologist, working inside his state-of-the-art weather center. Yes, he really has a Weather Center!
The interview began at 10:00 p.m. and Tanya called in from her home in Bellingham. Tanya did a wonderful job and told Steven's Story so poignantly. I was shocked when we went to the first commercial break to see that it was already 10:20! The time absolutely flew by.
Jordan went out of his way to continually include us all in the discussion and mention this website over and over again. I truly appreciate his dedication to spreading the word about Steven and educating the community about stroke.
He is kindly emailing me a commercial-free copy of the show, which I will promptly post here for those of you who may have missed it. To end an already fabulous evening, Jordan shared that he will personally be making a donation to the Foundation. I feel blessed to have met such a wonderful person, and to have been given this opportunity for Steven. THANK YOU, JORDAN RICH!
