FW: [otr-discussion] Anne Whitfield has passed away
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of John Gassman Sent: Thursday, February 29, 2024 5:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [otr-discussion] Anne Whitfield has passed away Hi Attached is an obit for our friend Anne Whitfield who passed away on February 15. I can’t remember if this list accepts attachments so I’ll paste in the information. John The life of Anne Langham Whitfield Phillips was a beautiful one, with every second used to uplift the world and those around her. Annie passed away on February 15, 2024, surrounded by family at Valley Memorial Hospital after suffering an unexpected accident while on a walk in her neighborhood. Through the kindness of neighbors who provided expert medical support, family had the gift to say goodbye and express love and gratitude, a gift we will always cherish. The most precious part of Annie’s life were her 3 children and 7 grandchildren. She was beloved by her family, who were always her first priority. She is survived by her three adult children: eldest daughter Julie Stevens of Columbia Falls, Montana; Julie’s daughter Emery (Neil Hearns), and sons Luke and Alex; son Evan Schiller of West Seattle (Linda Schiller) and their sons Quinn and Logan; and youngest daughter Allison Phillips of Menlo Park (Peter Freed) and their daughters Frances and Aviva. It's Tea Time in Des Moines at Marina Mercantile! Annie was also loved by her amazing friend group, many of whom started out sharing mutual passions for Annie’s deeply rooted hopes for World Peace, protecting nature and the environment for future generations, and for social and political justice. Her friend group extends out to many parts of the world, but was especially prevalent in the Burien area. We wish to thank her community who loved her so much, and encourage you to continue Annie’s fight for a better world. Annie was born in Oxford, Mississippi on August 27, 1938. Her parents Richard Noble Whitfield and Frances Turner Whitfield welcomed their only child into the world. Annie’s father was the Orchestra and Marching Band Director at University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), while Frances was blazing trails as a Speech and Drama professor. With the onset of WWII, and Richard being one of the Army Band directors, the trio traveled to army bases in the United States before Richard was deployed to the South Pacific. It was during this period that Frances and 4-year-old Anne set out for Hollywood to begin Anne’s journey into acting. With her mother as her agent and acting coach, Anne was becoming recognized for her acting skills in old-time radio. By the age of 7, she was cast in live, nationally broadcast radio programs, and most recognized for her long-running roles in The Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show, as well as One Man’s Family. As radio segued to color movies and TV, Annie played a wide array of dramatic parts. Perhaps most notably, Anne was cast as Susan Waverly in White Christmas when she was 15. Just this past December during the holidays, Annie was able to watch White Christmas with her family on the movie’s 70th anniversary. Although Annie was a talented actor, Los Angeles didn’t have enough trees for her and she left Hollywood for her new life “up north” in the 1970’s. During this transition, Annie became devoted to causes that promote Peace and preserve nature. After moving to Olympia, Washington and going back to college at Evergreen State College in her 40’s, she achieved her Bachelors in Communications. She proceeded to work as a steward for Clean Water at the Department of Ecology for the State of Washington. Programs she developed to fight pollution and ensure water quality are still recognized and utilized. After “retiring”, Annie worked tirelessly as an activist and community organizer, working right up until the day she passed away. She took on numerous causes including: fighting climate change, transparency in political campaign financing, fair electoral systems, voter registration in swing states, caring for the un-housed (at Thanksgiving, she brought food to the un-housed

Favorite radio show
16
Hi all, So glad to have you here. We have about 10 people who have joined in the last 3 hours or so. So what kinds of things would you like to hear? Radio themes, if so, on what subject? Favorite radio shows, favorite radio actors and actresses? We often will do these types of subjects on our evening live shows. We love to fill requests. We also often will chat with a person who has written a book on a radio performer. John and I have done over a thousand radio interviews since 1970. Walden has done probably just as many. We also collect interviews from other hosts, so we can also pull from that information. All ideas are welcome. Thanks again for being with us. Larry Gassman

In this review I will cover the emergency options incorporated into the unit, as well as discuss operability and its overall functionality as a radio. As always when I do a radio review, I will point out what I believe are the radio’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as where this might fit in your radio arsenal. The usual disclaimer applies for any product I review – I tell it like it is, good or bad. While the radio was provided to me without cost by Radioddity, that does not affect my opinions one iota. With that out of the way, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of the rig! As we have come to expect from other Raddy portables, this has a lot of features packed into a relatively small package. I say “relatively small” because it is thicker than many vertical portables, and heavier. This is a solid bit of kit, and the size and weight are the first clue that this radio is not just intended to sit on a coffee table. It is definitely designed to work outdoors, as well as finding a place in the car or boat for when you need to check on the weather, or be out in it. Specifications · Frequency Range: FM: 87-108MHz, AM: 520-1710KHz, SW: 5.7-17.9MHz, WB: 162.400-162.550MHz Bluetooth: Version 5.0 Card Type: MP3/WAV/FLAC/APE White Noise: 7 different natural sounds Max. Capacity of Micro SD Card: 256GB (not included) Size: 81x52x132mm / 3.2x2x5.2in Weight: Approximately 350g / 0.77lb Operating Voltage: 2.7V-4.2V LED Light: 1W/120LM Max. Power: About 5W Speaker: 4? 5W LED Flashlight: 1W/120LM Battery Capacity: 4000mAh / 3.7V (non-replaceable) Operating Temperature Range: -10? to 60??14°F to 140°F? What’s in the box? · 1 x RE40 Radio 1 x Type-C Cable 1 x Wrist1 x User ManualPower Options This radio can be powered by an internal battery charged by a USB-C port, solar powered to charge the battery, or by a hand crank. Here is the manual description of the emergency power options: A. Solar Charging Put the solar panel directly towards sunlight. When the green charging indicator lights on, it indicates that the solar panels charging the internal battery. The charging efficiency depends on the solar exposure: the stronger the sunlight, the better the charging effect. B. Hand Crank Charging Turn the hand crank clockwise or anti-clockwise and the green charging indicator will light up to indicate that it is Speaker has no sound: Hand crank at 130-150 rpm for 1 minute, the flashlight can be used for more than 30+ minutes or play the radio (medium volume) for 3 NOTES: The hand crank can be turned for 3-5 minutes before using the product to activate the internal battery. The hand crank is normally used in emergency situations when the power is out. The radio has a compass built into the volume control knob on top, a flashlight, analog tuning dial, and switches for moving between playback modes (Radio, Bluetooth, and media) and desired operations (SOS, Standard battery or solar/crank charging modes, and USB charging). As an aside, the SOS feature is LOUD! Almost the whole back of the radio is devoted to the solar cell. This is much larger than other solar cells on portable radios that I own, and presumably will recharge the internal battery faster. There is a rubber flap over the headphone, USB and memory card jacks/slots. The unit has another interesting feature: you can charge your phone or other USB device from the standard USB slot under the flap. To use this feature the mode switch on the back of the radio has to be in the right-hand position u
