Linda and Kent Beckwith

Kent Beckwith worked in the sales department for many years. In 1999 he became vice president and general manager of WOKR.

Kent’s pride of the station and the employees was always apparent. One day the audio chair had broken and I asked my manager for a new chair. A little while after that Kent arrived in the control room with a large box with a new chair in it, he had driven to a furniture store to buy me a chair. He proceeded to tear open the box and put together my new chair for me. I have never forgotten his kindness.
