Ivy Lee

Happy to be in Lansing as part of the WITL Wake-Up Show...at least until Kristen recovers from her surgery. Born in California. Raised in Oklahoma. I moved to Virginia in 1996, started my radio career in 1998. Met JR from the WITL Wake-Up Show in 2013. Ended up doing a morning show with him from 2015-2019. So, I feel your pain over those puns. Mom of four; stepmom to one. The six younger grandkids call me "Ada." The two oldest forget we're related now (their mom married my oldest son a little while back.) I left my husband home alone in Rockingham County, Virginia with my two goats, his two dogs, and a very persnickety old cat we accidentally adopted. I hope the goat fence is still there when I get back.
