Friends,
We lost a member of the WAMC engineering team and family on
Wednesday.
Anthony “AT” Morette was hit and killed by a tractor trailer
while running in Ticonderoga on Wednesday morning.
AT would do regular checks on our transmitter and tower on
Mount Defiance WANC in Ticonderoga.
He would call us when we had power outages, and run up the
hill in the snow to help get things back up and running.
AT was a good man, always serving, and putting the best
interests of others and the community before his own.
I will, in some strange way, miss the 2 am calls from AT
reporting power lines being down.
*** NEWSFLASH - WAMC's Mt. Greylock transmitter is is back on the air. WAMC FM 90.3: Was off the air for several hours on 11/30/09 due to a scheduled power outage by National Grid. Power has been restored and so has our signal. Thanks for your patience.
