For most of KPBX's 40 years, Verne Windham has been there, sharing his love of music.
In 1980, KPBX came on the air in Spokane as a full-power station connected with National Public Radio (NPR), which nationally replaced the National Educational Radio Network in 1970.
"I listened to it," said Verne, who came to Spokane in 1971 to play French horn with the Spokane Symphony.
Without realizing it, helping with pledge drives beginning in 1982 became his audition for a music program he had proposed.
