Episode 20 - Bob Toohey (October 2022)

Today we have a very special guest on the Frogcast, Bob Toohey.  The name might not sound familiar to many of us more recent graduates of WCMS, but we can assure you that Bob has been instrumental in creating the WCMS experience we know and love today.  Bob was a graduate of WCMS in 1975 and a founding member of the WCMS Alumni Association shortly thereafter.  Unlike most of our guests, Bob wasn't an employee with his credit but instead a volunteer.  This year's recipient of the James D. Likens Alumni Recognition Award, Bob continues as a volunteer at his credit union and with the WCMS Alumni Association Board.  If you were lucky enough to be sitting in the audience for graduation this year to witness Bob's receipt of this award, you no doubt had tears in your eyes.  Bob was welcomed to the stage with an embrace from Jim Likens himself, and the history and heart of our program stood there before us.  Listen in to this month's episode to learn more about those early days of the school, and the steps taken to to make it what it is today!
