PATTY HOLCK

I grew up in "God's Country", a few miles from Highlandville, IA where Leslie & Gladys Wennes raised me, my much older brother, Greg and quite a bit older sister, Brenda. I graduated from North Winn in the great class of 1974, moved to the Twin Cities after graduation, got married and have two kids: Adam and Trisha. I enjoy spending time with my special guy "Kooney." In 1992 we moved back to Decorah and I began my career in radio. I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of my job, but my favorite part is becoming friends with my advertisers. I totally believe in radio and can't think of anything else I'd rather do.
