"Images of America: WNAX 570 Radio"
by Marilyn Kratz
Marilyn Kratz will be presenting about the book she and Stan Ray wrote called "Images of America: WNAX 570 Radio", which highlights the history of WNAX 570 Radio.
Kratz is a retired elementary school teacher, freelance writer and a longtime resident of Yankton. Stan Ray (1939-2006), a Yankton mortician, grew up in the transmitter building of WNAX, where his father worked as an engineer. He experienced firsthand many of the momentous events associated with WNAX. Marilyn Kratz will share with the audience unique and little-known takeaways and facts she found while researching and writing the book that was published in 2006.
Feed Your Mind events are held on the first Friday of each month beginning at noon, and there is a free-will donation to attend. The one-hour event will be held on the second floor of the Mead Building, 82 Mickelson Dr in Yankton, SD.
P.S. Make time to visit the new A Dakota Story exhibit after the presentation, where you'll find WNAX history featured in the WNAX & Gurneys gallery.
