Students and co-workers from Lewis and Clark Community College remember their teacher, colleague and friend, Al Stevens. Al taught radio drama and radio news at LCCC since 1998. He retired in 2015 to spend time with his family and take care of his illness. After a lengthy battle with cancer, Al Stevens passed on February 19th. As a radio veteran students thought of his radio drama class as “fun” and an opportunity to try different voices and improvisational comedy. His skills in visually picking out the edit spots without even listening to the recordings stunned his students. His eulogy was uplifting and a time to share stories and pizza. Zac Coffman, a former student said:
“He loved life and enjoyed every minute,” Coffman said on social media. “When I found out he had passed, I spent some time talking about him with friends from WLCA, and I could not remember a time when there wasn’t a smile on his face. He was a great man, and the world is that much dimmer without his light in it.”
More details of Al’s story can be found in this article of The Telegraph. Radio Drama brings all of us together. Our heartfelt apologies to the family.
