I grew up in Dubuque, Iowa. When I was a kid, one of the local AM radio stations used to announce the obituaries of Dubuquers who had passed away. My sisters and I were not allowed to speak during the time the obituaries were announced on the radio as my mom did not want to miss hearing the names and funeral arrangements. If I was home for lunch when the obits. were announced, I would ask my mom if we knew any of those people. I wonder how many smaller town radio stations still announce obituaries.
