Dr Chartock, WAMC and the other George W
Last night I got to meet someone whose voice I have heard for a very long time, especially during fund raising time for WAMC. Dr Alan Chartock is the president and CEO of the WAMC Northeast Public Radio Network as well as columnist for several newspapers. The occasion was the 84th Annual George Washington Dinner sponsored by the Men’s Club of the Old Dutch Church here in Kingston NY. It had been years since I have attended the event and it was great to run into people I haven’t seen in many years.
Kingston Mayor Jimmie Sottile’s opening remarks displayed his great sense of humor and easy style, not easy when addressing local politicos from both sides. Dr. Chartock’s address was also very interesting and informational; he really has a feel for politics. My favorite line of the evening, “The beauty of Elliot Spitzer,” alluding to other wealthy past governors, is that he is honest, he is so rich. They don’t have to steal because their fathers stole before them.” Dr. Chartock speaks with a good mix of humor and seriousness.
