Coral and Tom Hotchkiss were our wonderful friends and mentors at KYME radio in Boise, Idaho in the 1970's. Coral was so sweet, soft spoken and kind beyond words.

I will always remember staff dinners...families included...at their home. We would all participate in the preparation of global won tons. After dinner we all reeked of garlic.

We never got to New Zealand to visit Coral, but did stay in touch with annual Christmas cards and a few letters. I set a goal to reconnect with those from my past and, today I thought of Coral. I am so sad I missed the opportunity to see her.
