Farewell To A Friend...

If you are a regular listener to The Sandbox you might have caught Professor Earmuffs on the WTF Line.

The real person behind the Professor was Jocelyn Callahan. 

Jocelyn was lost to us on Monday as she was making her way home from work.

We were lucky enough to have met her in person at our Miracle on Tremont St. show this past December and she made a great impression on all of us.

After an absence from the WTF Line (she was traveling) she made her return last week and we were happy to have her back.

Jocelyn left behind friends, family, customers and listeners who will miss her.

You can see her in action as Professor Earmuffs below.

You can read the obituary here.

RIP Jocelyn.

  Hey Sandbox.

  That is a really great tribute to Jocelyn. She looked forward to calling in and giving you new science facts on the daily. She will be truly missed.

  Thanks

  Sorry to hear the news.  She seemed to be a very fun person, and it's a shame more WFNX fans will never get the chance to meet her.

  My sincerest condolences to her family & friends...

  Thank you so much for doing this tribute. I know it meant a lot to her mother, and to her friends. I remember her bragging to me about being on your show - she really loved calling in.

  I love you Jocelyn! Dance with angels my precious sleeping beauty!

  We have had a ball watching Professor Earmuffs in action. It is so wonderful to, in between tears, laugh our heads off! I wish I could do that voice. We miss you sweet Jocelyn...you kept us laughing all the time!

  Love, Your family xoxo
