It’s Thursday April 2nd. 

And a few Boerne Radio birthdays to recognize…the late great Marvin Gaye was born on this date in 1939, so was Leon Russell in 1942… and a happy 78th birthday to Grand Ole Opry Member, Country Music Hall of Fame and 14-time Grammy winner Emmylou Harris.  Also a special happy birthday to Bradley Laurenson right here in Boerne.

I’m Baron Wiley. 

Jo Groff is the new director of the Comfort Area Chamber of Commerce after its former leader Dr. Charlie Hueber accepted the position of executive director of Economic Development for the city of Santa Fe, Texas, which is between Houston and Galveston.   Groff, a commercial property owner and active in the Comfort Heritage Foundation, said it is her hope to restore Comfort’s status as a tourist center and a historic small-town destination. 

A new book has hit the Boerne shelves today and it’s called How Boerne Made History and Played On the Their Field Of Dreams.  It’s a memoir of the historic journey of our Little League team to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.   It’s written by Tim Christ whose son Caleb Krist was part of that team, and you can hear my interview with Tim this Saturday morning right here on Boerne Radio.  Be looking for book signing events at the Boerne Bookshop and D1.  Only 150 copies are available on this first run so get yours today.

For our Fair Oaks neighbors, there will be a delay on the Cibolo Creek Bridge project by TxDOT, which will cause the contractor to delay the completion of the final configuration. With weather permitting, work will continue today as traffic moves to one lane. Work operations are expected to occur between 8 and 5, with traffic controlled by flaggers and law enforcement.
