KSFR and New Mexico Lose Craig Barnes

On November 4th, we lost a cherished member of the KSFR and Santa Fe community.  Radio host, Santa Fe Local Treasure, and man of thought and brilliance Craig Barnes died at 79 after a long battle with Lymphoma. This Saturday, November 14th, from 9 to 10 am, KSFR will pay tribute to Craig on the air with reminisces from family, friends and colleagues.  A memorial service is also scheduled for 2pm on Saturday, November 28th at the Rivera Kiva Chapel of Light, 417 East Rodeo Road in Santa Fe. 

Craig’s family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Common Cause, We Are People Here or KSFR.  If you make a donation in Craig’s honor on our website, please make a note on the donation form so we can be sure to let his family know.  Donations can also be made by calling the station during business hours at 428-1527.

And in case you missed it, The Santa Fe New Mexican ran a front-page tribute to Craig on November 5th: http://www.santafenewmexican.com/life/features/activist-author-radio-host-craig-barnes-dies-at/article_08241232-6e2d-53ca-8a27-ee857e33bd12.html?_dc=659870321629.569
