Bob Wolff is a beekeeper and an alumnus of the Mandela Washington Fellowship Reciprocal Exchange (MWFRE) Program, a US State Department funded program. Through this program, he’s been to several countries on the continent of Africa. A longtime KCCK member, Bob says that he keeps up on Eastern Iowa events and music by streaming KCCK on his trips.
“This past March, I had the opportunity to go to South Africa for a MWF Symposium,” Bob says. “While there, I was able to visit my friends I met while they were here at Kirkwood They are part of another International Exchange program, Community College Initiative (CCI) Program.”
Bob took some KCCK t-shirts to share with his Kirkwood friends. But he also spread the gospel of Iowa’s Jazz Station with a new acquaintance.
“A woman from the Netherlands, staying at the same place I was, asked me what I was listening to on my computer. She really liked the tunes. I told her it was KCCK from Iowa, the best jazz station in the country, or should I say the world! KCCK is fantastic and nice company while at home and traveling.”
Thanks to Bob for taking KCCK with him on his travels and for keeping his Kirkwood alumni friends connected to the college and the station!
