Buffalo, NY – On this last day of 2008, WBFO celebrates the year of StoryCorps. And we mourn the death of our favorite son.
Dozens of Western New Yorkers turned out last summer to record conversations with loved ones during a six week visit of StoryCorps here. We will continue to present more of these stories in the new year.
This morning, we re-broadcast a very special conversation that took place between two well-known Buffalonians -- Tim Russert and James T. Malloy. Russert died last June. He was best known for his interviews on NBC's Meet the Press. But this interview he did with Malloy, the retired doorkeeper for the US House of Representatives, was recorded for StoryCorps.
