Chip Kaufmann Celebrates 30 Years at WCQS!

WCQS classical music host Chip Kaufmann celebrates his 30th year with the station November 21st.

Throughout Chip’s years with WCQS he has introduced thousands of listeners to classical music – some of the music  is centuries old, some contemporary – all presented with the same passion, respect and  enthusiasm. His dedication, his intelligence and his willingness to do anything to further the mission of public radio  (he has subbed in a pinch on a bluegrass program and helped hang drywall for our studios)  have made him invaluable to WCQS - that and his wicked wit, kind nature, encyclopedic knowledge of film and his sincere  appreciation of beer and boiled peanuts .

Bravo Chip – from your colleagues at WCQS and thousands upon thousands of listeners.

Please feel free to write your congratulations to Chip.

Michelle Keenan was the Associate Director of Development at Blue Ridge Public Radio. She began volunteering for the station in 1996 and has been a full-time staff member since 1998.
