In line with WJFF's mission to bring community voices together, Radio Catskill is delighted to honor area luminaries Patricia Adams and Duke Devlin as Voices for the Catskills at the Community Service Awards Celebration at The Arnold House on Saturday, July 20.
Patrica Adams and Duke Devlin are exemplary in their dedication to promoting and preserving our listening area's resources and heritage. They join an auspicious list of previous Community Service Award recipients that includes Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther, Barbara Martinsons, Kathy Dodge, and Dick Riseling (2017); Judge Josephine Finn, Glenn Wooddell (2016); and Sandra Oxford & Elaine Giguere (2015).
WJFF General Manager Dan Rigney says: "Patricia and Duke are two of our areas greatest treasures. Duke's dedication to telling the story of a little 1969 concert gathering to all who would listen helped fuel the dream that became Bethel Woods while Patricia's quiet dedication to preservation, education and community building is an inspiration to all."
