This week on Hot Seat: Media Monday with Ron Klopfanstein on 95.5 FM The Heat 🔥, we explore resilience, grief, faith, history, science, creativity, and the power of sharing our stories.We begin at Grace Episcopal Church in Utica with a feature story on its rare Henry Holiday stained glass windows — priceless works of art connected to Helen Munson Williams and her daughters, Rachel Munson Williams Proctor and Maria Watson Williams Proctor, whose philanthropy helped shape Utica’s cultural foundation.Then Becky Nemo joins Ron to talk about #BrettStrong, her son Brett Sutton’s serious illness, and how social media has helped rally love, prayers, cards, donations, and community support around him and his family.Colleen Campbell shares a deeply moving conversation about losing her husband Alistair to glioblastoma, raising children through grief, and using Facebook to write honestly about loss, love, memory, and survival.And Moe and Sarah Lalonde, retired science teachers and children’s book authors, talk about Meet the Germs, The Germ Files, teaching, STEM, lesson planning, art, retirement, and keeping a sense of wonder alive.It’s a powerful episode about how stories help us survive, connect, remember, teach, and keep going.#MeetMeInTheHotSeat #MediaMonday
