Studs Terkel Dies at 96

Thomas, Web Applications



Oral historian, radio charmer, and Pulitzer prize-winning author Studs Terkel passed away on Halloween at the age of 96.  I got a chance to talk to Studs Terkel in 2005 when he was a guest on a radio show I was helping to produce. He was so patient, optimistic, funny, and sweet it's no wonder people found him easy to talk to.
