Vale Ken Cook - It is with sadness that we announce the passing of long serving volunteer record librarian Ken Cook.
Country visitors - Recently a group of students from Corrigin High School visited Curtin FM 100.1 for a workshop on "radio" conducted by Keith Taylor and Rhonda Jackson. These students along with their English teacher are in the process of setting up a narrow cast community radio station within the school to broadcast to the Corrigin district.
Ken joined us in June 1996 and immediately fitted into the library. Ken had a very broad knowledge of music and was responsible for implementing much of the record library protocols currently in place.
Ken was a keen sailor and a former Commodore of the Fremantle Sailing Club.
He spent his working life as a technician for what was then the Post Master General's department and had a broad knowledge of radio transmission.
Ken was very well respected and much liked by his co workers at the station, always with a cheery word and a happy smile and a wicked sense of humour. His presence and contribution will be very much missed. We extend our deepest sympathy to his family. Ken was 82 when he passed away after a long illness.
The purpose of the visit was to learn about the operation of a radio station. Curtin FM 100.1 as part of its on going community commitment is working closely with the school to assist it to achieve its aim of operating a radio station.
