In Memoriam: Remembering the incomparable Terry Wilson

Sep 06, 2022

Today we’ll break format on the Ship Report to honor a maritime friend and one of community radio’s greats: KMUN Radio Engineer Terry Wilson, who passed away this summer.

With many years at sea under his belt, Terry was a frequent guest on the Ship Report during the show’s early years, and a radio expert who used his knowledge to keep KMUN (the station that has aired the Ship Report for almost 20 years) alive and well for many years. He was an an unforgettable presence at the station, and we honor him today for all he gave to us.
