Marilyn as been with ART since the beginning, and served on the governing board. Her primary responsibility has been her sound effects contribution with Penny Swanberg. Marilyn, with the assistance Joy Jackson, put together a selection of audience participation shows for the Radio Entertainment Network (REN) and hopes to do more of that in the future. Marilyn became involved with Old Time Radio through the back door. One day she was listening to Mariners games and was too lazy to turn the dial. She heard Jim French's Imagination Theater and thought, "that sounds like something I would enjoy as it is clean wholesome fun." Even though she was too young to have been part of Radio when it was King (or Queen, for that matter), there are certain things she was aware of -- such as Fibber's closet (Fibber McGee and Molly) before she became actively involved in radio theatre. Marilyn says she has enjoyed getting to know other people in this hobby and looks forward to spending more time at conventions, ART workshops and bootcamps.
