Episode #704 of Hometown Heroes, airing October 23-25, 2021, is a tribute to Mert Wiedmann, who passed away October 19, 2021 at the age of 97. Wiedmann epitomized, on multiple levels, the spirit behind our radio program, as a “Hometown Hero” who not over survived dangerous duty during World War II, but returned to make a gigantic difference in the community where he grew up.
