<h2>A Few Words About WRIP</h2>
<p>Founded in August 1999 by Chairman Dennis Jackson, and by Guy Patrick Garraghan, a native son of Windham, New York, WRIP grew and flourished under Garraghan's guidance for eleven years. His untimely passing in November 2010 left a void in the Mountaintop community. Guy will always be fondly remembered by those who knew him - and missed by the thousands who awoke to his voice every morning.</p>
<p>Under the continued leadership of Jay Fink, President and General Manager and a fourteen year station veteran, WRIP tapped the talents of another broadcaster - long recognized for his community leadership and integrity - from our sister station, WQQQ in northwest Connecticut. Joe Loverro joined WRIP as Morning Show host and Operations Manager in May 2011. Now in its twenty-fourth year of broadcasting, WRIP pledges unwavering community involvement, thanks to the continued support of our many fans and successful advertisers.</p>
