Crossing East 


This eight-part series, which starts this month, traces Asian 

immigration into America and its effect on the building of the 

nation, subsequent generations, and global ties. It takes an 

expansive look at the history of Asian immigration into the U.S., 

from pre-nationhood to post-9/11, relying on scholarly research, 

archival recordings, and oral histories. Each hour features four to 

five pan-Asian stories, illuminating the diversity of Asian-American 

history. The programs incorporate literature and historical 

documents read by professional actors, as well as original music 

by Asian-American artists from around the country. The series is 

hosted by actor George Takei and comedienne Margaret Cho. 

May 7 

“First Contacts” 

George Takei Margaret Cho 

International trade brought early Asian travelers to the Americas. 

This hour reveals previously untold stories of these pioneers, their 

quests for gold and adventure as well as the hardships they faced 

in the new land. 

May 14 

“Frontier Asians” 

This program explores the legacy of the frontier in the towns, 

farms, and ranches settled by Asian Americans, and features the 

early West’s miners, buckaroos, farmers, and physicians. 

May 1 

“Raising Cane” 

Hawaii was a self-contained society when Captain Cook first 

made contact. Then settlers and missionaries turned Hawaiians 

into workers and the islands into plantations. This hour weaves 

a unique cross-cultural American tale through music, descendant 

histories, and sounds of Hawaii. 

May 8 

“Exclusion and Resistance” 

Beginning with the Exclusion Act of 188 , “keep Asians out” 

was America’s message to Asian immigrants. This program gives 

detailed accounts of immigration laws designed specifically to 

restrict Asians. 

Hearing Voices: 

Her Stories 

Sunday, May 14, 8 p.m. 

For Mother’s Day, Hearing Voices presents 

a mix of short documentaries, audio theater, 

and poetry, hosted by Dmae Roberts. 

In “Home From Africa” a Peace Corps 

volunteer named Jenifir returns from Benin 

with all thirteen symptoms of “Peace 

Corps withdrawal.” A true tale of two 

selves, mixed with dirt, disease, music, and 

voodoo. Produced by This American Life 

contributor Jake Warga. 

The mini-drama “Donna Checks Out 

Her Life” tells the story of a supermarket 

checker who scans the items in her existence. 

It is from Tom Lopez’s radio soap 

opera Saratoga Springs, which deals with 

the lives and loves of the characters in this 

charming town. 

In 198 , the Kitchen Sisters explored 

that one-time staple of American 

housewifery, the Tupperware party. For 

“Tupperware” they went to local houses 

and the national convention, talked to 

Tupperware people, and recorded Tupperware 

songs. They cooked up an audio 

ethnography that still sounds fresh today. 

“Sisters” is a montage of sisters discussing 

what it’s like to have and be a sister. “I 

love her, but she still gets on my nerves…” 

First heard on All Things Considered, it 

was produced by Dmae Roberts. 

“Sooner or Later” by Ginger Miles 

is a sound portrait of Anna Lee, a jazz 

photographer in lower Manhattan, recently 

diagnosed with breast cancer. When 

friends asked her when she was going to 

get medical help, her answer was “sooner 

or later.” 

“Ruby” by Susan Stone is an offbeat 

syntax of whispers and words that tells the 

story of a woman and her husbands. 

24/7: The Rise 

and Influence of 

Arab Media 


The dramatic expansion of open media 

in the Arab world is changing the political 

landscape of the region. For better or 

worse, the Internet and scores of pan-Arab 

radio stations and satellite television channels 

are fostering the free flow of information 

and opinion in ways unthinkable two 

decades ago. How does this rapidly changing 

spectrum affect the United States, the 

Middle East, and the world? Will it lead 

to greater understanding or fuel tension, 

fear, and hatred? 

This program 

critically examines 

these questions 

with reporting from 

across the region 

and analysis from 

a wide range of 

political and media 

experts. David 

Brancaccio, host 

and editor of the 

PBS weekly series 

David Brancaccio 

NOW, hosts. 

Rounding out the program are poems 

by spoken-word artists Sonia Sanchez, 

Tracie Morris, Jill Battson, and Meryn 

Cadell. 

Secret Wars 


The resignation of 

Director George 

Tenet, the inquiry 

over the agency’s 

intelligence on Iraq, 

and the verdict of 

the 9/11 Commission 

drew criticism 

to the Central Intelligence 

Agency. In 

addition, questions 

have been raised 

about the organi- 

George Tenet 

zation’s ability to 

adapt to the post-Cold War world. 

In this BBC’s The Changing World 

documentary, BBC Security Correspondent 

Gordon Corera uses his wide range 

of intelligence contacts to speak with CIA 

undercover agents and policymakers. 

By talking to them and those who have 

worked alongside them in the Middle East 

and Afghanistan, he reveals the effect that 

the agency’s work has had in the region 

and learns how it intends to restore its 

reputation.

Families of War 


A mother visualizes her son’s death at 

the exact moment it happens. A juvenile 

delinquent amazes her family by turning 

into a model soldier. Families of War 

presents these and other gripping stories of 

American veterans and their families. 

The program weaves a tapestry of 

conflict from World War I to the war in 

Iraq. It includes insightful commentary 

from journalists who illuminate how wars 

continue after the shooting stops. Author 

Karen Spears Zacharias tells of her quest 

to find the facts surrounding her father’s 

death in Vietnam. Marlene Lee, Red Cross 

volunteer since the 

1970s, describes 

helping families 

and children in 

contemporary times 

deal with the loss 

of loved ones. 

Former Senator 

and Vietnam veteran 

Max Cleland 

is the host.

“The Pleasure Was Mine” 

by Tommy Hays 

Page 4 / Directions in Sound / May 2006 May 2006 / Directions in Sound / Page 5 

Tommy Hays 

Beginning: Wednesday, May 4 

Approx. number of episodes: 18 

Prate Marshbanks proposed to his future 

wife, Irene, in the summer of ’5 . Irene 

was a college graduate and daughter of 

a prominent lawyer, and as such, was an 

unlikely match for Prate, a high school 

dropout and a house painter. Their marriage 

not only survived for fifty years, but 

flourished, which was a constant wonder 

for Prate. But now, he faces a new challenge 

with Irene. 

“The Pleasure was Mine” takes place 

during a critical summer when Prate 

retires to care for his wife who is gradually 

slipping away to Alzheimer’s disease. 

To complicate things, Prate’s son, Newell, 

a recently widowed single father, asks his 

father to keep nine-year-old Jackson for 

the summer. Though Prate is irritated at 

first by the presence of his moody grandson, 

over the summer his feelings toward 

Jackson change as his grandson helps him 

tend Irene. As Irene’s memory fades, Prate, 

a hard-working man who has kept to himself 

most of his life, has little choice but to 

get to know his family. 

Author Tommy Hays has 

written 

a quietly 

wrenching 

portrayal 

of grief, a 

romantic 

story about 

the power of 

love, and an 

unexpectedly 

moving take on 

the resilience of 

family.

Jazz Highlights 

by David Brent Johnson 

Still spring, almost summer . . . May 

usually brings fair weather to the WFIU 

listening areas in Indiana, and we’ll strive 

to bring you jazz programming that’s 

equally appealing. For new releases and 

new re-issues, as well as interviews with 

local and visiting musicians, tune into Joe 

Bourne’s 

Just You and 

Me every 

weekday 

afternoon 

from : 0 

to 5. Some 

of the new 

releases you’re 

likely to hear 

this month 

include bassist 

Ben Allison’s 

Cowboy 

Justice, vocalist 

Karrin Allyson’s 

Footprints, 

and Ralph 

Towner’s new 

solo acoustic 

guitar release 

Time Line, 

recorded in 

the St. Gerold 

Monastery. 

We’re also 

looking 

forward 

to new CDs from 

former Young Lions (what are they now— 

Middle-Aged Lions?) Christian McBride 

and Roy Hargrove. 

Joe also hosts The Big Bands every 

Friday night at 9, as part of our long-running 

block of jazz programming for that 

weekend evening. The Big Bands is preceded 

by Piano Jazz at 8, and among host 

Marion McPartland’s guests this month 

are singer and saxophonist Curtis Stigers, 

critic Whitney Balliett, guitarist Mimi Fox, 

and pianist and educator John Harmon. 

Following The Big Bands at 10:05 is 

Afterglow; this month’s featured artists 

and CDs include Bing Crosby’s Musical 

Autobiography, alto saxophonist Herb 

Geller’s recent tribute to songwriter Arthur 

Schwartz, small-group and vocal recordings 

from drummer Buddy Rich (Buddy 

sang? That’s right!), and an 80 th birthday 

salute to Miles Davis on May 6. You can 

now hear all of the Afterglow programs in 

archived form on the show’s new webpage: 

www.afterglow.indiana.edu. While 

there, check out the “Afterglow Legacy” 

link, where you can hear program creator 

and longtime host Dick Bishop’s farewell 

broadcast from January of 005. (We 

continue to turn to Dick for his considerable 

expertise and musical knowledge, and 

roundly consider him to be a generous 

consultant to our current efforts.) 

Another WFIU jazz program that’s 

archived online is Night Lights, which 

airs Saturday 

evenings at 11:05. 

This month we 

note the passing 

of illustrious 

Cincinnati DJ 

Oscar Treadwell 

with “Jivin’ 

With the DJs,” a 

program of musical 

tributes to jazz 

DJs from artists 

such as Cannonball 

Adderley, Lester 

Oscar Treadwell 

Young, Charlie 

Parker, J.J. Johnson, 

Oliver Nelson, and more. For tributes of 

a more melancholic nature, on Memorial 

Day weekend it’s “Turn Out the Stars 

II,” a sequel to last year’s show of elegies 

for jazz musicians. Other offerings 

include “Sonny Rollins: Live in London,” 

featuring 1965 club recordings from the 

legendary tenor saxophonist, and “The 

Subterraneans,” a program about the 1960 

movie based on Jack Kerouac’s novel, with 

a jazz soundtrack by Andre Previn and a 

performance by Gerry Mulligan as a hip, 

saxophone-playing priest. To hear all of 

these programs after they’ve aired, go to 

www.nightlights.indiana.edu. 

If you’ve still got a late-night craving 

for more music, stick around for Portraits 

in Blue, immediately following Night 

Lights. Host Bob Porter’s succinct and

WFIU staffers travel to Ukraine 

From the banks of the Jordan River to 

the edge of the frozen Dnipro River in 

Ukraine and back again—WFIU public 

radio was carried much further than 

usual in late February and early March. 

Station Manager Christina Kuzmych and 

Operations Director Cary Boyce traveled 

to Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine to exchange 

information with the Ukrainian station 

“Radio Mix.” 

(l to r): IREX Representative Svitlana Buku, Christina Kuzmych, Radio Mix 

Operations Director Vyacheslav Ibryayev, Cary Boyce, and translator Yulia 

Churakova outside the Radio Mix building 

The trip was sponsored by IREX—the 

International Research & Exchanges 

Board, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization 

that promotes international education in 

academic research, professional training, 

and technical assistance. Southern Indiana 

experienced a similar exchange two years 

ago, when representatives from the 

Herald-Times visited a local Ukrainian 

newspaper in Feodosia, Ukraine. 

The exchange was more than cultural. 

Issues such as business, technology, 

marketing, music programming, and 

journalistic practices crossed the table. 

“On the surface WFIU and Radio 

Mix look like two different stations; one 

public, the other commercial,” Christina 

Kuzmych said. “Yet aside from this 

initial difference, the stations have strong 

similarities. They are both committed to 

serving their audience and making a real 

difference in their communities.” 

Another similarity was the dire need 

for upgraded equipment. Both WFIU and 

Radio Mix are challenged to keep abreast 

of evolving technology 

and find money for 

equipment replacement. 

The Ukrainians however, 

had the edge on 

equipment deprivation— 

some of their computers 

had not been replaced 

after fire damage, but 

were still operating with 

severely melted monitors 

and gaping circuitry. 

Now just eight years 

old, Radio Mix is one of 

two independent stations 

in Dnipropetrovsk. The 

station started with Vyacheslav Ibryayev 

and Dmitry Zapashchykov, who met 

years ago as students at university, began 

producing programs and a broadcast more 

as a hobby and an experiment. Changing 

times, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a love 

of “foreign music” led to a full broadcast 

station covering the Dnipropetrovsk 

region. 

The Radio Mix staffers kept this portrait of 

Soviet premier Leonid Brezhnev on the wall 

as a reminder of a troubling past 

Lacking the resources to replace it, the Radio 

Mix staff used a computer monitor that had 

been partially melted in a fire 

Dnipropetrovsk (formerly 

Yekaterinoslav) is located in the southcentral 

part of Ukraine, on the Dnipro 

River. It was a closed city until the mid 

1990s post-Glasnost period. The city was 

one of the main centers of the nuclear, 

arms, and space industries of the former 

Soviet Union, and foreigners were not 

allowed to enter into the area. Today it’s 

a bustling industrial center of about 1.5 

million, full of contrasts and definitely 

looking to the future. 

Though Radio Mix devotes much time 

to broadcasting entertaining music, it also 

invests heavily in news and information. 

Ukraine is a nation that has been torn by 

political upheaval for centuries. Politics 

is the order of the day for the average 

Ukrainian. In addition, global coverage of 

the Orange Revolution cast the spotlight 

on Ukraine, and perhaps for the first time, 

created a mass awareness of the country 

as a nation, and a better understanding of 

its political issues. This attention raises the 

bar for all Ukrainian media to report on 

Ukrainian affairs. 

“At the time of our visit, Ukrainian 

Parliamentary elections were coming 

up, with over forty candidates vying for 

positions,” Kuzmych says. “Radio Mix 

had to make some hard decisions as to 

how to effectively cover the elections as 

well as the divisive issues the populace was 

grappling with.” 


IREX Representative Svitlana Buku, translator Yulia 

Churakova, and Christina Kuzmych at the Radio Mix offices 

exchange ideas about American vs. Ukrainian media 

Radio Mix offers what it calls “foreign 

music,” essentially pop, and a few minutes 

of news each hour. As an independent 

commercial station, it survives solely on 

advertising. 

“We have differences,” says Kuzmych. 

“But our issues and challenges are similar. 

We both exist to serve our communities. 

We both need money to survive. We both 

need to market ourselves so people know 

what we offer.” 

New technologies are already in use at 

Radio Mix, and the WFIU representatives 

found much in common. 

“Both stations are heavily vested 

in new digital technologies, and are 

monitoring listening trends carefully,” says 

Cary Boyce. (Radio Mix streams online at 

www.rmix.dp.ua/live.php.) WFIU shared 

information about public radio, NPR, 

underwriting concepts, and new initiatives 

in public radio digital broadcasting. 

This represented new material for Radio 

Mix, and a different way of looking 

at the radio business model. Cary and 

Christina brought along CDs from Indiana 

University and Bloomington artists as well, 

to give the Ukrainian partners a feel for 

WFIU programming. 

The historic old building that houses the Radio Mix 

studios and offices was formerly a posh residence. If 

you closed your eyes you could almost hear and see 

the elegantly dressed men and women dancing in early 

20 th century 

Cary Boyce, Ilya Kotov, Radio Mix On-Air Director Yelena Kotova, Christina Kuzmych, and 

translator Ismayil Khayredinov toast the WFIU–IREX partnership 

The rules of balanced news and 

information broadcasting are still evolving 

in Ukraine. By the time this article goes 

to press, the country will have run their 

hotly contested, often controversial 

parliamentary elections. Various political 

factions, of which there are many, pressure 

Ukraine’s media outlets to support one or 

another party, or to at least ignore some 

volatile issues. 

Ukraine media in all forms has been 

dictated to since the Soviet takeover in 

19 0, and radio has been struggling to 

find its voice since the dissolution of the 

USSR in 1991. The spirit of 1-year-old 

reporter, Georgy Gongadze, murdered 

for his reports on corruption during the 

Kuchma administration, still haunts the 

media. 

“The luxury of free speech is coveted 

in Ukraine,” says Kuzmuch, “though 

much has changed for the better. The 

Orange Revolution helped to further the 

separation of media from government 

decree.” 

The Ukrainian broadcasters noted 

that broadcast journalism in the U.S. was 

born of different values. Public radio in 

the U.S. was established in the late 1960s 

to provide an alternative source of news 

and information, and the Corporation for 

Public Broadcasting was set up to fund the 

system with tax dollars. In this way, public 

broadcasting would find a safeguard 

against whatever political party might 

hold sway, and safely report the facts as 

best they could. This is a concept that 

intrigued the Ukrainian partners. 

Communication in a foreign country 

can be trying. Christina, who is of 

Ukrainian heritage, speaks the language 

The view from Cary Boyce’s hotel room afforded a 

view of the Dnipro River, which divides Ukraine both 

geographically and politically 

and had visited Ukraine before. She 

was able to communicate fluently with 

Ukrainian speaking residents, and 

tenuously “feel” her way through the 

closely related Russian. Dnipropetrovsk 

lies squarely in the part of Ukraine where 

Russian still predominates, though many 

people speak both languages. 

Cary Boyce was proud of some early 

success with the Cyrillic alphabet (kindly 

and patiently tutored by the interpreters) 

and a few useful, if ill-pronounced, words. 

“It helps to be able to read a sign and ask 

for coffee,” he says, “especially with seven 

hours of jetlag.” 

Christina and Cary extend their 

thanks to IREX and to their gracious 

hosts at Radio Mix for their hospitality 

and openness to the free exchange of 

ideas. WFIU foresees a long and fruitful 

partnership between stations and new 

bridges between cultures and countries. 

IREX is sending some Radio Mix 

representatives to Bloomington in July and 

November. WFIU will serve as the host, 

and will try to incorporate as many local 

visits for the Ukrainian team as possible.

The Grande Dame 

of WFIU turns 100 

Marge Gravit is an original. A petite 

woman with an outsized spirit, she is 

known for her musical expertise, her many 

talents, and her startling candor. 

On May 8, Marjorie Gravit will 

celebrate 100 years of a well-lived life. 

Commenting on her upcoming milestone, 

Marge, who now lives in the Meadowood 

Retirement Community in Bloomington, 

said, “It’s amazing because no one in my 

family got that old.” 

WFIU listeners know Marge as a top 

player of Ether Game, WFIU’s musical 

quiz program heard Tuesday evenings at 8 

p.m. While Marge has retired from calling 

in her answers to Ether Game (though she 

still listens), her ability to win is legendary. 

Fellow top Ether Game player Doug 

Strong, who played under the pseudonym 

“The Aquapuncher,” recalls when WFIU 

invited the top scorers of the month to the 

station. Marge was one of them, but was 

unable to make it because she was tending 

to her husband, who was ill. Nevertheless, 

says Strong, “The world knew she was the 

best.” 

Marge was married to Dr. Francis W. 

Gravit, who taught in IU’s French Department, 

for fifty-five years. She called him 

“Gravvy.” 

“They were both very strong-willed 

and had opinions,” recalls Marge’s longtime 

friend David Belbutoski. “He was 

an earlybird and she loved to stay up and 

sleep in.” 

Dr. Gravit never came home for lunch, 

a friend of Marge’s recalls, prompting 

Marge to quip, “I married him for better 

or for worse but not for breakfast or 

lunch.” But by five o’clock, Marge always 

had Gravvy’s martini ready. 

Marge herself was in her 90s when 

she gave up her daily afternoon martini, 

recalls Belbutoski. 

“She always said, ‘the martinis killed 

the germs and that’s why I don’t get very 

many colds.’” 

Bosom Buddy 

“She did everything completely,” says 

Mona Houston, former president of 

Bloomington’s Town Theater, whose every 

performance Marge attended. “You didn’t 

expect so much energy to appear in such a 

tiny person.” 

Marge, Dr. Gravit, and Diana Guiragossian-Carr crossing 

the Atlantic on the S.S. France. 

Houston recalls when Marge attended 

performances of plays at the Town 

Theater. Especially, she recalls her laugh. 

“She loved to laugh and she laughed 

heartily. None of your ladylike titters. 

I always hoped Marge would be in the 

house because if she laughed, other people 

would too.” 

Although Marge was never formally 

trained in music, she became a top Ether 

Game player. At first, Ether Game listeners 

believed that “Marge Gravit” was a 

code word for a group of musicologists. 

Even after Marge retired from playing 

Ether Game, her cult status lived on. A 

group of listeners played as “The Marge 

Gravit Fan Club.” 

Alice Leake noted, “The WFIU staff, 

particularly those associated with Ether 

Game, became Marge’s family. Together 

they were passionate about music.” 

WFIU Station Manager Christina 

Kuzmych first met Marge in 1990. 

“I had heard about Marge Gravit,” 

Kuzmych says. “It was impossible to work 

at WFIU and not know of her. Particularly 

from the announcers who all considered 

her their bosom buddy. 

“The first time I met Marge I was 

immediately impressed by this wonderful 

blend of class and spunk. Marge didn’t 

mince her words—she told me exactly 

what she didn’t like about WFIU. Over the 

years the staff dubbed Marge the Grande 

Dame of WFIU. Listeners like Marge are 

the lifeblood of public radio.” 

According to David Belbutoski, Marge 

was slow to embrace early music. “Those 

sour old instruments,” he recalls her 

saying. Nor was she a fan of Beethoven’s 

ninth symphony. “Those poor singers have 

to bark like dogs. Just listening to it hurts 

my throat.”

95 th birthday. 

Favorite Listener 

Diana Guiragossian-Carr got to know the 

Gravits when she joined the Department 

of French and Italian in the 1960s. She has 

fond memories of spending time with the 

Gravits in France, where they summered 

off and on for fifty years. 

“I remember the lively times we shared 

on a crossing on the S.S. France and the 

meals we had together in Paris. I am still in 

awe of Marge’s extraordinary knowledge 

of France, of its history and art. I think 

that she had visited every church, cathedral, 

and chateau in the country and knew 

everything about them.” 

According to David Belbutoski, Marge 

never learned to drive and never owned a 

TV set. She was a voracious reader of novels, 

magazines, and newspapers, and she 

listened to the radio, specifically, WFIU. 

In fact, she took a proprietary interest 

over her beloved WFIU. Back in the 1970s 

when on-air jazz announcer Michael 

Bourne was here, Marge called him almost 

daily. “He missed her calls when she didn’t 

call in,” Belbutoski says. 

“Marge was my favorite listener of all 

time,” says Bourne. 

“Soon after I’d started at WFIU thirtyfour 

years ago, Marge called and told me 

exactly why she liked me, which was very 

encouraging. She was smart, and charming. 

And she made me feel as if I must be 

smart and charming, or at least enough to 

amuse someone like Marge.” 


Gregg Richardson, a WFIU announcer 

in the early 1980s who is now a neuropsychologist 

in California, recalls that Marge 

used to call him frequently while he was 

on the air to correct his pronunciations 

and provide background information. 

“And she’d inquire if I didn’t seem to be 

feeling well from the sound of my voice. 

“She’d ask me, ‘Are you all right, dear?’” 


Multi-talented 

Marge met her husband Francis at the 

University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. 

“They were both bohemian,” recalls friend 

Alice Leake, who along with her late 

husband Roy, were two of Marge’s close 

friends. “They would get together over a 

glass of beer and discuss matters of mind, 

music, and politics.” 

During World War II, Leake recalls, 

Marge and Dr. Gravit worked for the 

government in Washington, D.C. decoding 

secret enemy messages. “That must have 

gone well with Marge because her powers 

of reasoning and her fitting things together 

would suit code-breaking assignments.” 

When the Gravits came to Bloomington 

in 1948 they lived in a house on Fess 

Avenue where Marge indulged in another 

activity she’s famous for—gardening. 

“Her garden was perfection,” Alice 

Leake recalls. “Each flower had been 

chosen for color, design, placement. It was 

a gem.” 

Decades later, when Marge and Dr. 

Gravit moved to the Meadowood Retirement 

Community, Marge set up a garden 

in a huge window box the size of a twin 

bed on her deck. Before she moved, she 

gave away plants to her friend Diana Carr. 

“She gave us innumerable plants, many 

native to Indiana, which now adorn our 

garden year after year.” 

Mona Houston recalls a day she got an 

urgent call from Marge. 

“One day she phoned and said ‘Are 

you free right now?’ I said, ‘Can be.’ ‘The 

garden is just perfect. Come see it right 

now.’ 

“So we dropped everything and went to 

see the garden. That was pure Marge. It 

was perfect then, she wanted us to see it.” 

“I don’t know how I can put into a 

short phrase the amount Marge has 

known and done about everything,” says 

Alice Leake. “From domestic skills to art 

and architecture. I’ve always been in awe 

of her.” 

Ether [F]ame 

Marge is also an accomplished embroider 

who worked with needlepoint and 

bargello stichery. Leake was fascinated by 

her attention to detail, color, and design. 

Guiragossian-Carr says, “She made us 

some beautiful pillows that we still have.” 

Leake also describes Marge as an 

excellent cook. She and Gravvy would 

always eat dinner in the French style with 

five courses. “One of the recipes in my file 

is called ‘Boeuf à la mode à la Gravit.’” 

But it was as an Ether Game player 

that Marge drew fame, at least in southcentral 

Indiana. 

As Leake recalls, “I never knew anyone 

who knew more about the composers, the 

date on which something was performed, 

who had performed it, whether it was 

typical or atypical, classic, popular, jazz, 

anything—she seemed to know.” 

Leake once asked Marge how she knew all 

those titles, names, and dates. 

“She said, ‘Oh, I heard it on WFIU.’ 

Once she had heard it on WFIU she never 

forgot it.” 

Violinist and pedagogue Josef Gingold 

was another Ether Game player who was 

impressed with Marge’s musical knowledge. 

David Belbutoski recalls when Gingold 

hugged her and said in his accented 

English, “Oh, Marge, I don’t know how 

you do it.” 

It’s Marge’s voice that is heard at the 

end of WFIU’s locally-produced program 

Hometown giving the production credit. 

When producer/host Tom Roznowski 

wanted someone who had been present in 

the summer 19 6—the period in which 

Hometown takes place—he chose Marge. 

“Marge’s reading has become legendary,” 

Roznowski says. “The most 

frequently asked question I get with regard 

to Hometown is, ‘Who is that charming 

woman at the end of every episode?’” 

Musing on why Tom asked her to do 

voice the credit, Marge quipped, “I’m 

properly antique.” 

Giving to the Future 

Marge gives back to the music world 

through her two scholarships that she 

has endowed to the IU Jacobs School of 

Music. 

Each year the School awards two 

scholarships through the Society of the 

Friends of Music. For the current academic 

year, the Marjorie Gravit Friends of Music 

Guarantor Scholarship was given to 

Nicolle Atkinson, a sophomore from 

Sandy, Utah, studying viola with Alan de 

Veritch. And the Marjorie F. Gravit 

Friends of Music Piano Scholarship was 

awarded to Min-Sun Kim, a pianist from 

South Korea who is studying for a 

performer’s certificate with Jean-Louis 

Haguenauer. An unusual feature of the 

piano scholarship is that it is eligible for 

the Matching the Promise Campaign, 

which means that the interest from the 

original gift will be matched in perpetuity. 

These days Marge doesn’t feel well 

enough to leave her Meadowood dwelling. 

David Belbutoski calls her there frequently. 

“She gives me reviews of her meals. 

She’ll say, ‘It was a real dog’s breakfast 

today,’ or ‘Today’s was really good, I hit 

the jackpot.’ That spark is still there.”

wishes can send them to WFIU at wfiu@

Women of Tibet: Gyalyum Chemo: 

The Great Mother 

Sunday, May 14 at 11pm; Thursday, May 18 at 1pm; Sunday, May 21 at 

3pm 

Women of Tibet: Gyalyum 

Chemo: The Great Mother tells 

the compelling story of a simple 

village woman who became 

known as Gyalyum Chemo, the 

Great Mother of the Tibetan 

Nation. When she gave birth to 

the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, 

Dekyi Tsering’s life took on 

mythic proportions. 

His Holiness the Dalai Lama, 

Dekyi Tsering and family members 

Nobel peace laureate and one of 

the today’s greatest spiritual leaders, talks about how his mother helped 

shape the man he is today. Anecdotal threads and personal reflection from 

her children, grandchildren and friends, with never before seen photographs 

from their family collections along with rare footage of Tibet, our 

film offers rare a glimpse into Tibet’s first family and the woman who 

inspired them. 

The Dalai Lama has visited Bloomington several times, where his eldest 

brother, Thubten J. Norbu, founded the Tibetan Culture Center. 

Dekyi Tsering’s story embodies the generosity and wisdom of the 

“Great Mother” archetype in action. By following the journey of her life 

and times, we can see the gifts that mothers can and do give when there is 

nothing left to give; how a mother’s love 

survives regardless of loss; and how simple 

gestures of encouragement and support can 

profoundly impact the course one’s life. 

These are the qualities of motherhood that 

not only keep a family together, but have 

also helped to keep a nation together as 

it faced cultural genocide and exile. They 

are also the qualities that helped inspire 

the strength to preserve culture, family and 

tradition while in exile. 

Dr. Marion Woodman, Alice Walker and 

Angeles Arrien, link this unique Tibetan 

story to a much broader perspective of how 

Mother touches all our lives. “Mother is 

a primal word, we all have one, and every Dekyi Tsering and her son the 

14 

experience that every human being has had 

has been about the mother,” Angeles Arrien. 

Gyalyum Chemo: The Great Mother is an inspired hour-long jour- 

th Dalai Lama of Tibet 

ney into the spiritual power of mothering; the gifts that mothers can and 

do give when there is nothing left to give; how a mother’s love survives 

regardless of loss; and how simple gestures of encouragement and support 

can profoundly impact the course of one’s life. 

WFIU Future Fund 

Radio broadcasting is undergoing rapid 

change. One of WFIU’s missions is to keep 

up with change, ensuring the best possible 

service to both our current listeners and 

listeners of the future. 

This future takes us beyond today’s 

broadcasting, into a world where anyone, 

anywhere will be able to access our programs 

at any time. These changes require 

a major investment in technology that go 

well beyond the resources we generate 

through our annual membership program 

that supports our daily operation. 

To financially support these new initiatives, 

we created the WFIU Future Fund. 

Thoughtful gifts to the Fund have come 

in many forms—from direct cash gifts of 

support, to stock, retirement, insurance 

policies, and estate plans. The Future 

Fund Charter Donors are listed below, 

with WFIU’s gratitude. 

We welcome your participation in helping 

WFIU stay in the broadcasting forefront. 

Listeners may support the WFIU 

Future Fund, or any number of giving and 

naming opportunities beginning at $1,000 

that permit individuals and businesses to 

become involved beyond an annual membership 

or underwriting gift. 

To learn how you can become involved, 

contact Judy Witt, WFIU/WTIU
