Memorial for Ruth Mathisen, Saturday May 4th.

A memorial for Erik Mathisen's beloved wife Ruthie will take place on Saturday May 4th at 12:00 noon at the Red Bluff Elk's Lodge. Erik's long term efforts and final success in bringing community radio to Chico and the north valley could only have been accomplished with the continued support, encouragement and enthusiasm of Ruth. KZFR will always remember Ruth and we all extend our hearts and our very best thoughts to Erik.

Directions: From Interstate 5, take Red Bluff exit #649, head West on Antelope Blvd./Hwy.36 West to the first stop light, go left (south) on Gilmore Road and go to the end of Gilmore to the Elk's Lodge parking lot.
