For those who would like to hear the interview with long time tv and radio broadcaster and columnist Jim Shaw on KFGO today, discussing our group’s recent visit to the AZ and Nogales MX border, here’s how to listen. Never enough time to share what we’d like but maybe some folks heard things they didn’t know. Tomorrow Jim will have an article in the Forum about some of our experiences. You can find that at inforum.com.

Any reactions/personal perspectives to share with us?
