25 years of julie bernard
prolific only begins to describe julie bernard. the countless artists she has interviewed on art focus allowed us to know the art and artists of the portland art scene on a more personal level. she took on the gargantuan task of organizing the kboo art show at pnca. i will miss you julie and you richly deserve every award and accolade you get.

I have listened to and enjoyed Julie's show for many years. I now work Thursday mornings, and did not know she had concluded her KBOO run. Whenever I was able to tune in, I was always delighted from the fantastic beginning song by The Five Chinese Brothers, to her obvious passion for art and creative people. She was a great asset to the Portland arts community, and will be sorely missed.
