Radio friend Karl Scroggin, who has been at WUIS in Springfield for nearly 30 years, was honored by his station this week with a retirement party and a gift of tickets to the Chicago Symphony and a stay at the historic Palmer House (where brownies were invented!).

More than 100 well-wishers stopped by Thursday to wish Scroggin a bon voyage in his retirement.
A WUIS on-line description of Scroggin serves as a lasting tribute to him: “For 20 of the last 30 years, classical music enthusiasts have welcomed the soft and quiet demeanor of WUIS host Karl Scroggin. The calming tenor (more of a baritone, really) of his voice, coupled with the encyclopedic detail in which he can discuss his musical selections, has earned both Karl and WUIS widespread respect throughout the classical music community.”
Scanning the Dial joins Karl’s local community in congratulations for a job well done, and best wishes for an enjoyable retirement.
