Jay was a forever friend to the INBA and its members. 1/3

He also taught broadcast journalism at the @UofIllinois and his alma mater, @SIUC. After retirement, he continued to advocate for public radio as executive director of the Illinois Public Broadcasting Council.
Please join us today in remembering Jay's life and legacy. 3/3
