RIP Charlie Whitlow Norwood
My last interview with Congressman Norwood took place in our little AM studio, and lasted 35 mintues. Not every congressman has to make time for little radio stations, but Norwood was willing to do so.
I remember the first real contact I had with Norwood, was after Hurricane Katrina. We were making preparations for a radio-thon, to raise money, and I was tasked with getting appeals from various officials at the local,state and federal level. So I approached Congressman Norwood, who was at the time in a wheel-chair, with an oxygen bottle. (he suffered from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.) So when I explained what I wanted, He took a big tug on his oxygen tank, and than launched into an appeal. "Give till it hurts my friends..." I remember that line in particular.
Rest In Peace, US Congressman Charlie Norwood, 1941-2007
