I first met Jeff 10 years ago when KSJD was located in a ramshackle house sitting on the edge of what is now the campus for Southwest Colorado Community College. He had a staff of two (including himself) and a handful of dedicated DJs.<\/p>\n

When everything was in working order, the signal reached Cortez, Mancos, and sometimes Dolores. Sadly, it didn\u2019t always work.<\/p>\n

But Jeff had a vision and a dream for our community. Now, KSJD is housed on Main Street in a historically renovated and beautiful building. There is a staff of 8 and a large group of volunteer DJs. The signal reaches south to Kayenta and north to Bluff, and it actually works!<\/p>\n

The Sunflower Theatre was also part of Jeff\u2019s dream. I honestly can\u2019t even imagine downtown Cortez without all the music, movies, plays and other amazing things that the Sunflower has going on nearly every day of the week.<\/p>\n

So thank you, Jeff. Thank you for being such an incredible visionary and for following through to create such vital pieces of our community.<\/p>\n

Thank you for being my mentor and for helping me to find my radio voice. You are so appreciated and so valued. You will be missed.<\/p>\n
