Hey, it’s Donovan Short – and for those of you I haven’t met over the last couple decades of hanging around the station, I’ll probably catch you eventually. I’ve been here in Wyoming since 1998, when I moved up from my original hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. The original radio job I came for was only supposed to last a year or so, but I fell in love with Wyoming, and eventually got married, bought a house, and started a family here – almost 20 years later, I’m still fortunate to be working with the same great radio stations in the same great city, and life is good.

As we pause this weekend to remember the fallen, it's important t
