THE OLDEST LIVING FORMER STAFF MEMBER OF WHTC, RECENTLY CELEBRATED HER 99TH BIRTHDAY.  JEAN HILL, FORMER WOMENS DIRECTOR AND CHILDREN'S PROGRAM DIRECTOR, NOW RESIDES AT AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.

MANY REMEMBER THE DAILY "STORY LAND TRAIN" THAT TOOK US TO AN IMAGINARY WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE WHERE JEAN WOULD READ THOSE FAMOUS CHILDREN'S STORIES LIKE "LITTLE TOOT."  EVERY FRIDAY WAS BIRTHDAY DAY WHEN THOSE WHO HAD REACHED THEIR FIFTH BIRTHDAY DURING THE PRECEDING WEEK WOULD BE INVITED TO THE STUDIO TO VISIT WITH JEAN.  THEY WENT AWAY WITH A SMALL TREAT AND A MEMORY THAT THEY COULD CHERISH FOREVER.  

JEAN'S OTHER DUTIES INCLUDED A ONE HOUR WOMENS PROGRAM EVERY MORNING, WITH SHOPPING TIPS AND RECIPES.  MANY BENEFITED FROM HER DAILY EFFORTS.

A HAPPY 99TH TO YOU, JEAN HILL, IT WAS A PLEASURE WORKING WITH YOU.
