A terrible tragedy

Art Anderson was one of the founders of WPGU Radio, the station that got me started in the business. I had met him several times over the years at WPGU reunions, and he was as upbeat and cheerful as anyone you'll ever meet.

This weekend he was stabbed in the neck while leading a group of Boy Scouts on a nature hike. Art was just in the wrong place at the wrong time; the killer had just killed one of his own dogs and assaulted his mother, and was presumably fleeing the scene of the crime.

An unspeakable tragedy.
