Another year, another WLHA Resurrection Reunion weekend has been accomplished!
For the past four years after each event, I have written an extensive, play-by-play account of my involvement on the day I participated and in many ways, I don't feel the need to do so again at this time. Don't get me wrong, this particular change is not for any lack of excitement and love I harbored for the day and the weekend event as a whole. Oh no!! The day was as beautiful, warm and tremendous as they have always been and the longer we are able to have these events, the greater their importance and meaning to me.
I felt that this time, perhaps I would allow the images and our set lists to do all of the talking, so to speak. What I am hoping for is that you can feel the warmth of the day just through the images and if you know any of the songs played either my myself, or Lisa "The Grue" Grueneberg or by Kelly Klaschus and her "House Of Klaschus" family members, which includes her husband and former 'LHA DJ Brian Klaschus and their teenage son Alex, perhaps you can listen to some of them as you gaze at the images. Sometimes, music and images are more effective than words...

And there you have it...the full playlists representing 6 full hours of my friends and myself, representing our respective pasts while thoroughly enjoying each other and being able to get together once again in the present to celebrate the legacy of the very student radio station that originally brought us into each other's lives in the first place.
While it is admittedly a little odd that we are still the only WLHA veterans from or specific era in time to return to pay homage, I am really feeling more than a little protective and undeniably filled with pride that we are indeed the ones who will be the keepers of the flame, so to speak, until that day when more from our time should choose to join in the fun. But, should they not, and for however long WSUM allows these events to continue, I would be so honored if we could still come back and represent ourselves and all of those who were with us in those days, because for me, my four years at WLHA are truly some of the most treasured of my entire life, as well as being so very crucial to my college experience overall.

For being able to participate once again in this Resurrection Reunion weekend, my gratitude is as steadfast as it is bottomless to WLHA veterans and weekend masterminds Kevin Peckham and Kevin "Nivek" Ruppert, plus the students and staff of WSUM for again negotiating, organizing, hosting and presenting this monumental event that truly celebrates the priceless and unbreakable bonds that were all forged through a shared love of music and radio as well as the incredible 70 year legacy of student radio on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
And for Kelly and her beautiful family, for Lisa, for Sue Grass (who was not able to join us this year but we'll see you next year for certain), and to all of the WLHA veterans I met, am still connected with and will always remember from those four years in that musty smelling basement, I will love and treasure you for all days because our friendship and specialized tribe is unlike any other and I am honored to be in your company.
Year six??? Please????
