It's a very good, long non-radio story but here's the best part of the
story about her radio dad:
Sandra Foster?s dream of a country house began when she was in high
school in Holbrook on Long Island, and her father, a radio announcer,
tried to start his own radio station. After the business failed, her
family lost their home, and Ms. Foster said she spent ?lots of my high
school years being homeless,? living with her family in furnished
basements or spare rooms in her parents? friends? houses.
Despite the financial pressures, Ms. Foster said, her father would
consider no work but radio and had difficulty working with others.
(she's also a big RUSH fan)
"Her solace was listening to the band Rush and gardening."
"I was listening to Rush at very high volume over and over, it was
freezing cold, I was starting to paint, but the moon was out. I looked
up at the moon, twirling, with my arms out. I was ready to cry.?
