Brent Parcher		We welcome Briana Caldwell to KVMR
Sometimes timing is everything. Brent Parcher found that out when he stopped into KVMR one day in April of 2008 to see about doing some community service hours. We happened to be short of front desk help, so he started out by filling in at our reception desk. By the time he had fulfilled his community service obligation a regular weekly shift had opened up, and he slipped right in.
