During cold weather, most people want to huddle inside around heat sources, but some jobs force people to brave the elements. Waco businessman and historian Roger Conger delivered groceries for J. C. Crippen & Sons as a teenager in the 1920s. He recalls a winter delivery to Waco High English teacher Marie Leslie that can only be described as a learning experience: "Her house was on the west side of North Eighteenth Street right across from Providence Hospital. And I pulled across the street to the wrong side of the street, it was. In other words, I was heading north, and it's a steep, downward hill there. And I pulled against the curb, and there was ice on the curbs that particular Saturday. Was a cold, cold day. I left my engine running, and I pulled the combination clutch release and brake of a Model T, which is to your left hand. I pulled that up and thought that I had locked the brakes. Left the engine running, went around to the back, got her order off, and went inside Miss Leslie's house and delivered her groceries. And when I came back out of her house, to my consternation, I couldn't see any truck. I hurried out to the curb, and I looked down the hill, and there was a filling station at the foot of the hill down there, and I saw a crowd of people around in this gasoline station. And with my box in my hand I ran down the hill and found that my truck, still loaded with Crippen groceries, had careened down this icy hill into that filling station, crashed into the back of an automobile that was getting some gasoline in it, and had thrown my load of groceries all over that end of Waco. (laughter)" Fortunately, both the driver of the vehicle and Mr. Crippen were very understanding. In the late thirties, George McDowell of Houston, a recent West Point graduate, was stationed at Fort Sill in Oklahoma with the 18th Field Artillery, a horse-drawn regiment. One of his assignments concerned a horse-drawn unit at Fort Sam Houston in Texas, the 12th Field Artillery, which was becoming motorized and had equipment and horses it no longer needed: "Our battery was designated to drive down from Fort Sill to Fort Sam Houston, pick up 246 horses, 8 guns, and 16 wagons and march them overland back to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, right in the dead of winter. When we got down to Fort Sam Houston, we found out that half of these horses we were going to take back had never been in draft pulling a gun or wagon or anything. So after we left Fort Sam Houston, we—first day, we only made about sixteen miles; the next time, about twenty-four. And we were hitting about thirty to thirty-two miles a day. But we'd try to bivouac by three o'clock in the afternoon. But then it got below freezing at times, and we weren't sleeping worth a damn. And you didn't have sleeping bags in those days. You just wrapped up in blankets and other things like that and did the best you could. The horses were not taking that cold weather. So every morning we'd have a—almost a rodeo getting hitched up. It was dark, and daylight didn't come till about seven o'clock. And so that march taught me, I said, ‘Well, I sure don't want to go to war with horses.' (laughs)" Shortly after this operation, McDowell was transferred to the army air corps as an ordnance officer and served in North Africa, Italy, and the Pentagon in World War II. During a wintertime assignment, George McDowell saw firsthand the challenges of using horses in combat. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For the month of June, Bunnell presents encaustic painter from Kodiak, Antoinette Walker. Exhibit opening will be on June 2nd from 5-7pm, with an artist talk at 6pm. The evening also opens the 6th Annual Community Supported Art (CSA) project and will introduce 2023 CSA artists after Antoinette's artist talk. “My creativity and life stories are expressed with coastal marine themes that capture the wild beauty of my home, Alaska. Encaustic is my material of choice; a blend of beeswax, damar crystals and pigment. Often using charts, scraps of paper and found objects that are embedded in the wax medium. I draw upon first-hand experiences of fishing, its dangers and excitement.” “Eroding river banks, weathered canneries, set net sites, surfaces beaten by heavy winds and torrential seas and rustic landscapes tell a compelling story. With every year there are subtle changes and inspirations for a fresh perspective. I'm drawn to these surfaces with textural layers that disclose a story. Using encaustic, painting, scraping, and scratching, I seek to reveal pieces that speak of the past and present. For me, inspiration is often a mystery. In painting, one thing inspires while another fades away. As in the landscape, changes are absorbed and reconfigured.” Bio: Antoinette Walker is an encaustic painter based in Kodiak. She is known primarily for her coastal marine subjects. Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, is a form of painting that involves a heated wax medium to which colored pigments have been added. Using encaustic and embedding papers, charts, fish tickets and found objects Antoinette creates pieces that reflect her love of Alaska. Born in 1953 and raised on Kodiak Island, she has studied and practiced art for most of her life. For the past twenty-three years her primary medium has been encaustic. Her work is recognized and collected throughout Alaska. It has been exhibited in the Anchorage Historical Museum and is held in the collections of the Pratt Museum in Homer, Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak, Baronov Museum in Kodiak, Kodiak Public Library, Providence Hospital, Kodiak, and Credit Union 1 in Kodiak. The Visual Arts Exhibition program is sponsored by North Wind Home Collection, art sales, and individual donors. Thank You!

According to Dr. Schubiner, our chronic pain is often a learned response or association, meaning that we have conditioned ourselves to associate a trigger with a reaction. Dr. Schubiner suggests that we can "re-wire" our neural circuits to undo this conditioning using his Mind-Body approach.  If you're suffering from chronic pain or have friends and family that do, Dr Schubiner is well worth a listen.  We talk: Howard's conversion to mind-body thinking Medicine's blind spot Job satisfaction and back pain  How forgiveness can heal you physically How pain protects us Links: The Unlearn Your Pain Website      Resources recommended by Dr. Hubiner:  The TMS Wiki - for those suffering from Tension Myositis Syndrome The Psychophysiologic Disorders Association - dedicated to ending chronic pain SIRPA (UK) - providing a cutting edge approach to chronic pain

She started her career in nutrition by working in the ICU. Many people came into the ICU for lifestyle-related chronic conditions. For instance, people would be in the ICU due to an urgent amputation because of uncontrolled diabetes. At the ICU, Kara would see really severe problems that could have been prevented in the first place. So, Kara wanted to catch these issues way earlier in a way that was meaningful. After discovering CGMs, Kara realized how powerful of a tool they are for multiple reasons: They give us continuous insight into our metabolic health. CGMs are motivating for people. Lastly, the data you receive is personalized and actually works!   [06:35] What You Need To Know Before Getting A CGM The CGM is a small device, about the size of a quarter. It's a medical device, so you need a prescription in order to receive it from your doctor. Sadly, they're most likely not going to do it unless you're a diabetic case. If you're generally a healthy person who wants to stay healthy, the chances of your doctor writing you a prescription is slim to none. The device goes on the back of the arm, you push the button, and it's in there. It uses a needle for insertion. The needle is removed, and the only thing that's left below the surface of your skin is a flexible microfilament. The devices are factory calibrated, so there's no blood needing to be drawn. [10:45] What Should Your Blood Glucose Levels Be? When you're thinking about fasting glucose, Kara recommends 70 to 90 range milligrams per deciliter. If you Google, “what's a healthy fasting glucose level?” It will probably tell you 70 to 100. There is research that indicates when we get to that 90 to 100 range, we're starting to see some increased risks. Shoot for 70 – 90 most of the time. After a meal, we want to see it returned back to baseline values, usually in that two-hour mark. Check how high your levels went after you ate – aim for 140 or less. On a keto diet, it shouldn't go above 120. [15:00] Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses And Non-Insulin Mediated Glucose Responses After Exercise Our glucose can spike, and our body can deal with that glucose spike without utilizing insulin. The spike we get from exercise happens after a very high-intensity workout, or you're doing something rather strenuous. It makes sense that you're going to have a glucose spike because your current supply of energy in the body is not enough to meet the demands that you're placing it under. With exercise, we're simulating stress hormones, but we're also breaking down glycogen stores. The exercise is demanding energy, and it's getting used right away. The reason your body is stimulating a glucose response with high-intensity exercise is that it needs it. [20:35] When You Are Chronically Sleep Deprived, You Will Have Higher Levels of Cortisol The Next Morning When we think about optimizing glucose values, we always talk about diet, exercise, stress, and sleep; they're equal components of the picture. Sleep is something we really have to pay attention to. Poor glucose levels will affect the quality of your sleep. Also, a bad night of sleep is definitely going to affect your glucose values the next day. [24:30] What Happens When You Break A Fast With A High Carbohydrate Meal There's a lot of psychology that goes on with fasting – people will have a cheat meal after fasting. When you do that, you ruin most of the benefits. If you break a fast with carbs, you can see glucose levels higher than they've ever been for two days straight. Eating carbs after a fast is not a good strategy. Instead, break a fast with protein. The longer the fast, the stricter you want to be. [26:40] Why You Should Go For A Walk After You Eat A Meal   Walking after a meal can really dramatically stabilize glucose values. Most of our circulating glucose in the system is going to get picked up by the skeletal muscle. Gently stimulating your muscles and moving can make a really big difference. Walking is also good for mental health and stress reduction. [28:30] Other Biohacks You Can Do To Decrease Glucose Levels Cold and heat exposure work in different ways. Both will lower glucose over time. Cold therapy will stimulate brown fat. When you're hot and sweating a lot, that might cause the glucose to be elevated during the sauna session, but it should lower glucose values overall later in the day. The benefits we get from exercising can be duplicated when we also are doing sauna therapy. In addition, berberine is the most beneficial supplement for lowering glucose values. Plus, apple cider vinegar will help lower glucose values. Try a little bit of vinegar with water before a meal. You can also drizzle it on a salad. [33:30] The Dawn Phenomenon: What You Can Do About It You're going to potentially see a little bit of a glucose bump in the early morning hours. For most people, that occurs between about 4 to 8 am. It's your body's natural alarm clock. For some people, when they first wake up, glucose levels are highest in the day. There is no evidence to suggest that this glucose bump is a bad thing.

Real talk: did YOU know that “annoying and oblivious” can also be a trait of...other Cancer People?! (And no, we're NOT talking about the astrological sign.) Amy wants “oldies” to be aware of what they say around “newbies;” venting is fine, but if you don't have any steam to let out, maybe just close your lid. Then: flax and soy and cancer, oh my! WTAF is up with phytoestrogens and hormone receptor positive cancer? Is it actually hard to keep up with the science, or are our nutritionists just slacking, lacking, and need to go packing (off to do professional development, that is!) The gals read a letter from a sweet muffin who wants the straight dish on safe and beneficial foods. Would it kill the folks in charge to just make us a damn list, already? And are all of these ingredients really raising our recurrence risk? Stef lets us know if we can drink our smoothies in peace. Studies on rodents suggest it's all in the delivery. And speaking of RATS, we get down to the nitty gritty of estrogen-binding foods. For isoflavones, it's a game of date, marry, f…erment. As in miso, you dingleberry!! To learn more about flax and breast cancer, read this. To learn more about phytoestrogens and HR+ cancer check out this article from Providence Hospital's integrative medicine department.  Amy's fiber stats were close, but as promised here is the real deal: “The U.S. government recommends Americans consume 28 grams of dietary fiber a day, while the American Institute for Cancer Research advises even more — at least 30 grams.” From this article.  Clarity on recommended exercise: “Walking at about 3 mph (or 20 minutes per mile) is considered moderate intensity.

I always say, 'There's no one size fits all,' but with sugar, especially, it truly is an addictive substance. It lights up the same pathways as a drug does. These food products are literally designed to be addictive; there's nothing natural about them and that is part of the problem with trying only to go through intuitive eating because it's very hard to intuitively eat candy because it's not a natural food that our body is prepared to handle... ...Truly when you get into that a routine of healthy eating and then you taste that candy again, it tastes so much sweeter. It tastes so much different than when you were eating it all the time and it was just lighting up your dopamine system type of behavior. So, then you can eat something mindfully in every once in awhile because you can sit there and eat it slowly and enjoy it rather than it be something that your brain is driving you to do. - Kara Collier     Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 397 Director of Nutrition at NutriSense, Kara Collier, explains how Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) can help optimize your health as well as personalize your nutrition for a lifetime, how our emotional intelligence impacts our food choices, the connection between stress and glucose levels plus her top tricks and tips to help curb your sugar cravings and binges.   What if we told you it was possible to track what unique foods affect your body's blood sugar in real time?   If you've been struggling with sugar cravings and poor eating habits, NutriSense and their team of dieticians are here to help.   NutriSense Save $25 on your monthly NutriSense plan with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Monitor Your Glucose Levels With NutriSense Analyze in real-time how your glucose levels respond to food, exercise, stress, and sleep.

Interestingly a lot of times the data itself from the NutriSense CGM device helps connect people to that mind - body connection on their health journey. There is a lot of research on this for data in general but specifically CGMs enhance people to eat more intuitively because then it enhances our introspective sensitivity which is just a fancy way of saying how we feel our body signals. So, a lot of people will leave this program and they will tell us that their unexpected benefit is that they can now have a better connection to their body." - Kara Collier   Building Sticky Habits With NutriSense "The behavior component of using a CGM device is being able to make the connection of what's actually happening when you're reaching for that snack. A lot of people think it's just a small amount of food and it's not really doing that much but it might be having a ripple effect that lasts 6 hours. That's a huge chunk of your day. So, it's building that awareness of what's truly going on the inside and then also allowing you the ability to make some substitutions, try something different the next day, and see how things differ. It really brings the control back to the person because they can easily see what a substitution or what a switch might actually do for their body. It's that immediate gratification that builds sticky habits that are intrinsically motivating." - Kara Collier   How Stress Impacts Your Glucose Levels "In an acute stress moment you'll have a huge glucose spike just like you ate a donut. We see this when people are having a fight with someone when they got in a traffic jam and they're mad and they're yelling at the car in front of them. When they're giving a presentation and they're nervous and stressed. We'll see that glucose spike just like you ate something sugary which is amazing. That's another mind-body connection that helps you realize the impact of stress on the body and for some people that might be every single morning on their commute to work. And it's not just this isolated, random, stressful event. So when you can make that connection that this is what's really happening on the inside and it might be more impactful than you might have believed it was, that is huge. It helps you connect with how you're feeling and how you're dealing with the events that are thrown at you and what's really going on." - Kara Collier     Links From Today's Show  Kara Collier LMNT 365 Dr. Paul Saladino 357 Robb Wolf 048 Nir Eyal 312 Kevin Kelly How do I put on the CGM sensor?

By the numbers, a solid percentage of you are listening to this 29th episode of Back Talk Doc on your mobile device or in front of your computer. You may be hunched over peeping at the show notes on the screen, a noticeable strain rippling down your back. Whether you’re experiencing back or neck pain as you’re reading these words, this episode is here to help. On today's episode of Back Talk Doc, our host Dr. Sanjiv Lakhia is accompanied by Dr. Sameer Vemuri, a partner at Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates. Dr. Vemuri works at the Ballantyne and Mathews offices. Board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation, Dr. Vermuri received his medical training at the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, then went on to intern at Providence Hospital and Medical Center in Michigan. (2:27) Dr. Lakhia and Dr. Vemuri discuss the burden of spine care in the United States. Both men care for a tremendous number of patients suffering from neck and back pain, with many patients suffering from both. Dr. Vemuri reveals four common factors leading to back pain: (1) genetics, (2) day-to-day stresses, (3) acute injuries, and (4) a big factor both doctors see: the use and overuse of technology devices. (8:59) "Technology and our phones and our devices has really taken over our life and forced all of us to be looking down constantly and promoting somewhat of a rounded posture." (9:31) Dr. Vemuri explains that these postures place strain on the structural cervical spine in the neck region. "Eventually, you're going to have some changes in the structural anatomy of that spine, and afterwards, you're going to have more chances of irritation of some of these nerves that come through that spinal area." (10:27)   More topics discussed on this episode include: Providing patients with realistic expectations during the healing process (23:43) The importance of mind-body connections when discussing back and neck pains. (26:36) When a headache is more than just a headache: how to know when back and neck problems are leading to headaches.

Feedback is the breakfast of champions, says Dr. Ahmad, and we should be asking for it daily from our mentors. Aside from that, we should be continually asking ourselves how we are returning our knowledge and skills to those who need it. And, that we should be putting more into the world than we are taking out of it. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Be aggressive and innovative in your approaches, but always remember to keep the patient's interest first. 2. The definition of success lies in the difference between ordinary and extraordinary: Do that extra work in order to get extraordinary results. 3. Develop a growth mindset, and understand how knowledge, skills, ability, and (most importantly) attitude work together. 4. We should be putting more into the world than we are taking out. At each and every stage you have the opportunity to guide and to help someone and therefore, look out for that person and help them.

Alaska leaders talk about what they've learned about COVID, six months into the Pandemic. And, a Kodiak man camps outside of Anchorage’s Providence Hospital in hopes of seeing his daughter in the intensive care unit. Plus, the pandemic forces a village in Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta to fight a fire on its own.

On this week's episode, Suzanne Downing and John Quick discuss Don Young's reelection campaign (including Suzanne's interview with the Washington Post), the bait and switch game played by Alaska's Democratic Party, the Municipality of Anchorage's new lottery system for CARES Act Funds, Providence Hospital's ridiculous COVID policy preventing a father from visiting his daughter in ICU, and much more!

It is increasingly recognized that psychological factors play a paramount role in the development and expression of physical symptoms including chronic pain. Mind-body Syndrome (MBS), a collection of commonly experienced physical symptoms caused by patterns of neurological response to stress and emotional reactions to stressful situations, provides an evidence-based framework for understanding the impact of psychological factors on physical symptoms. Dr. Howard Schubiner, MD, a pioneer in the field of Mind-Body medicine discusses the characteristics, mechanism and risk-factors for MBS, personality features that may be linked to MBS, the process of acculturating clients to the MBS model, the impact of cultural narratives on the development and expression of MBS symptoms, the treatment of MBS, and finally, considerations around medication in the context of MBS. Listeners of this episode will definitely want to check out our previous podcast with Dr. Allan Abbass, where we explore in-depth Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Therapy - a form of psychotherapy that has proven particularly effective with respect to treating MBS. Dr. Howard Schubiner is board-certified in pediatrics, adolescent medicine, and internal medicine. He was a full Professor at Wayne State University for 18 years and now works at Providence Hospital in Southfield, MI. He is a fellow in the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Society for Adolescent Medicine. Dr. Schubiner is known as a national expert in ADHD in adolescents and adults as well as mindfulness meditation and stress reduction. He has authored over 60 publications in scientific journals and books and performed research in the fields of adolescent health, ADHD and stress reduction. Dr. Schubiner is on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Adolescent Health and the Journal of Attention Disorders. He has given over 250 lectures to scientific audiences regionally, nationally and internationally on topics related to adolescent medicine, ADHD, and stress reduction. He has been granted funds to conduct research studies of over several million dollars in total. Dr. Schubiner is the founder and director of the Mind Body Medicine Program at Providence Hospital. This program uses the most current research methodologies to treat individuals who suffer from the Mind Body Syndrome (MBS) or Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) as described by Dr. John Sarno. Dr. Schubiner has created a program that uses both meditative and cutting edge psychological techniques to help individuals with chronic conditions, such as fibromyalgia, whiplash, back and neck pain, myofascial pain, TMJ syndrome, tension and migraine headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, irritable bladder syndrome, insomnia, anxiety, and other related conditions.https://www.unlearnyourpain.com/

Pain is no stranger to chronic illness sufferers, in fact, sometimes it feels like we don’t remember what it feels like to be without pain. Many of us have been told that the pain is only in our heads, which only serves to unfairly invalidate what we are going through. But what exactly is pain? Is it caused by strange endometriosis implants in our bodies? Is it caused by inflammation? Is it caused by structural abnormalities within our organs, muscles, or bones? How are pain signals transmitted from the brain? These are all very important questions and today’s episode is with Dr. Howard Schubiner, a clinician, author, and researcher who has conducted ground-breaking research on a treatment plan that can resolve, rather than manage, chronic pain. He is the director of the Mind-Body Medicine Center at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan, and a Clinical Professor at Wayne State University and Michigan State University School of Medicine. He has authored over 60 scientific publications and lectures nationally and internationally.  Dr. Howard is the author of the book Unlearn Your Pain and co-author of the book Hidden from View - A clinician's guide to psychophysiological disorders. If you enjoyed this episode, I would love to know.

Chick Hernandez on one on one interview with Dan Snyder when Snyder wasn't giving interviews ~ "He interviewed me for six minutes. We put it online because it was hysterical to watch this guy ask me questions. What do you like eat? All kinds of off the beaten stuff. By the time we turned it around, I did him, it was good." Chick Hernandez in studio interview A Ockershausen: This is Our Town and having an opportunity in Our Town to talk to one of Washington's most renowned sports broadcasters. Chick Hernandez: Well, I can't wait for this. Who is this? A Ockershausen: They used to be sports talents. Now they're broadcasters. Chick Hernandez: Are they? Talent. A Ockershausen: Like there are no more sales people. They're account executives now. That's happened to our world. Chick is a very dear friend and has been so important to Comcast Sportsnet and its growth, and we want to talk about that, but I'd like to go back to Chick Hernandez to where he is born. He's a local guy. He's an Our Town guy. Born and Raised in Our Town Chick Hernandez: I was born in Providence Hospital October 31st. Won't give you the year because I never give my age because of my young looking skin. You can't tell right now on this podcast. But, born in DC, raised in DC, lived on R Street for five years then went out to Silver Spring. A Ockershausen: The migration. Chick Hernandez: The migrations. Single mother, the white Irish Catholic from Annapolis. A Ockershausen: Well, you share the same hospital. Only my problem is I was born there 88 years ago in March. Chick Hernandez: Wow you are ancient. A Ockershausen: Providence Hospital. Chick Hernandez: Providence Hospital, yeah. A Ockershausen: I was asked to do a commercial for them. Chick Hernandez: Really? A Ockershausen: Yeah, for their 75th anniversary, and I did the spot as being born in Washington, being third generation. That was the old Providence Hospital, over in southeast. Chick Hernandez: My wife was born in the same hospital just 10 months later, exactly 10 months later in the same hospital. A Ockershausen: The one out in Brookland. Chick Hernandez: I don't know where. I was too young to remember. A Ockershausen: But, Chick, so you migrated out of the city, and your family moved out- Chick Hernandez: Moved out, Silver Spring, Silver Spring, 9112 Piney Branch Road, apartment 103. Single mom raised me. I always say that, you know somebody asked me a while ago, "Do you miss having a dad?" I said, "I don't know what that means because I felt like my mom was my dad too." I thought she did a heck of a job raising a rambunctious kid, and I was- A Ockershausen: How many children? Chick Hernandez: My sister came 14 years later. Mom took her time. A Ockershausen: Mom was busy. Chick Hernandez: For 14 years I was a solo. Literally each year the pool would open up. A Ockershausen: Apple of his eye. Now someone in your family died. Was it your grandmother? Chick Hernandez: I've had a bunch of people die. What are you talking about? My aunt died last year, this April, this past April. A Ockershausen: No, this was five or six years ago. Chick Hernandez: My mother did in 2010. A Ockershausen: That's what, yeah your mom died. St. Joseph's? St. Joe's? Something like that. Chick Hernandez: My kids went to St. Joe's. My mom had a congenital heart defect. Had a great surgery, and then got an allergic reaction to the medication and died several days later. Same thing with my aunt. Same operation, died in the hospital. Not a great memory, Andy, but thank you. A Ockershausen: You got to remember the bad. That's what the future is. Chick Hernandez: My mom was a hippie growing up, and she taught me about- A Ockershausen: All this happened in the Silver Spring area not in the city. His Dad - Carlos Patato Valdes Chick Hernandez: Absolutely, yep, yep. All Silver Spring. The chief thing that my mom taught me really was about race. Here's a white lady who was raising a kid of col...

Chris Broullire on what he and his wife should have done when they saw changes in his mother-in-law - "What we should have done at that time and we didn't know, we didn't know enough is we have a terrific website, ALZ.org. Anything you want to know about Alzheimer's or dementia is available on ALZ.org" Andy Ockershausen and Chris Broullire A Ockershausen: This is Our Town. It's Andy Ockershausen. I am delighted with our ... I don't call him a guest. He's too much of a friend and so close to him over the years, a local guy, a prominent fundraiser, extraordinary salesman. I guess you have to be to raise the kind of money that he's used to raising. Chris Broullire: Is it fundraiser or fund raiser? A Ockershausen: Well, it's both. Why not have fun when you’re raising funds? Chris Broullire: Okay, that sounds good. A Ockershausen: He is currently the chapter president and CEO of the Alzheimer's Association. I met him at least three decades ago. He's going to say longer, but I’ve known him in the radio business and the broadcast television business and the cable business and Chris Broullire, welcome to Our Town. Chris Broullire: Well, thanks Andy, it's great to be here. It's great. A Ockershausen: Our Town covers Annapolis. It covers Vienna, Virginia. We go as far as the Blue Ridge Mountains. We consider everybody in this big, huge bowl of what may be 8 million people as Our Town. Chris Broullire: You are humongous. A Ockershausen: Half of them live here, which is great and the other half are going on their way out of town. Chris, I go back with you so far but I did not know your background as a local yokel. Chris Broullire: Can I tell you the first time I ever met ... Yeah, but can I tell you the first time I ever met you? It was in the lobby right here at WMAL and I was referred to you by Tom Curro, Tom Curro Lincoln Mercury, and he said ... A Ockershausen: Oh, I know the name ... Chris Broullire: He says, "Chris, go see my buddy, Andy Ockershausen," and I was just desperate for a job, right out of college, trying to get a job anywhere, especially in radio. "Go see my buddy, Andy Ockershausen," and you spent about 20 seconds in the lobby with me telling me, "You got no shot, kid, good luck, call Dick Eurie." That was my first meeting with Andy and I thought, "Thank you so much for ..." A Ockershausen: I probably did you a favor and you don't realize it. I spent a lot of time wasting your time. You didn't have that time to waste because you were looking for a job. Chris Broullire: Yes, I was. A Ockershausen: But believe me, I have done that so many times to tell kids or beginners, "You got to start at the bottom. You come to WMAL looking for a job is not the bottom.” I hate to say that but it's true. Chris Broullire: Well and at the time it was at the very top, the top of the top. A Ockershausen: Well, I did this to Howard Bomstein. I made him so furious. He didn't speak to me for years because he wanted to handle our business and I said, "No, we are doing business with people we love. I'm never going to change. Why do I waste time to watch a presentation?" Anyway, we got by it. He's now one of my best friends and so are you Chris. Chris Broullire: I had to get that in there, okay. A Ockershausen: You were out of college, but you went to school at the University of Maryland, but before that you grew up in the Greater Washington area. Chris Broullire: Yeah, born and raised in DC. I was born at Doctors Hospital, which was at 19th and I, which is no longer there. It's an office building now. A Ockershausen: We just went by it the other day and Janice said to me it's a Children's Hospital. Chris Broullire: Yeah. A Ockershausen: Can you imagine what's happened to our town? Chris Broullire: Yeah, it's changed a bunch and went to Campus School, which is a little eight room grade school near Providence Hospital. A Ockershausen: I know it well. Chris Broullire: I went to Gonzaga, met my ...

In the year 2000, Jenny got married and was imported to Anchorage by her hunting, fishing, flying Alaskan grizzly man. She worked at Providence Hospital as an Emergency Medicine physician until she had the first of four children (one set of twins!) and was inspired to switch careers to become a full-time mom. Thankfully, her love of the great Alaska outdoors gets her running or hiking daily, allowing her to burn off the chocolate that she can’t seem to save herself from. She loves to laugh,especially at herself—like the time she went to the grocery store unaware that she was wearing a facial mud mask.
