They've been going strong for nearly 150 years. All this week I took a close look at the Sacramento Children's Home. See below for the stories of three people who were helped in very different ways...
Mike Simpson
Despite that picture, Mike is wise beyond his years, and would never dream of writing one of these himself. Or would he?
Either way, Mike's a UC Davis grad who almost made it on Jeopardy! while in college (the final test was on state capitals and things didn't go too well). He's a relative newcomer to the business and is honored to work at KFBK - even if he has to get up at 3AM to do it. Assignments have taken him to Governor Brown's inauguration, into Sierra Nevada snow storms and inside the cockpit of a fighter jet. When he's not at the station you can likely find him running along the American River Parkway. Story ideas can be pitched somewhere between Watt and Howe Avenues.

Taking Flight At The Capital Airshow
The California Capital Airshow is coming back to Mather Airport this weekend for its 7th year in a row, and the powers that be were crazy enough to let me get behind the controls of a plane. See pictures of local pilot Kurt Howerton's Nanchang CJ 6 below, and listen to a report of me taking to the skies!
