Special Message from Kris Halterman:
It has been my greatest honor to host Saturday Morning Live for the past eight plus years. Saturday Morning Live launched on June 12th, 2012 with the generosity of Dick Donahue and others who sponsored the one hour radio show. During this time I have met, spoken with, and interviewed a wide variety of local, state, and national personalities and experts in their field, who shared their knowledge about things that affect our ability to live freely in Washington State.
It is my greatest hope that by expanding the people who host this show we will grow this passion of mine, this ideal, and this movement, that to Work - Live - and Play -- 'freely', in this wonderful place we call home -- we all must strive to retain and restore our personal liberties everyday.
~ Kris Halterman
