You know, I have been volunteering at CET almost a year and a half now. Everything from on-air to sometimes moving tables!! ( You show up and someone grabs you.) And in that time I have grown to think about all the great folks at CET like a second family. The more I work with them the better my understanding of just how much of Cincinnati’s daily life they really are. Everything from educating our children to incredible daily educational programming.

We here in Cincinnati take a lot of really great things for granted, and we should stop a second and see how great this city really is. CET is like a jewel in the Queen City’s Crown, their efforts in keeping us informed and entertained in my mind at least does not go unnoticed. What we all may sometimes forget is that CET is OUR Public Station, and that word OUR is very powerful indeed. They not only support our schools but our businesses too, and ask little in return.

I would love to share something with all of you: money in this world seems to be the biggest driving force there is, BUT as I am sure you know Public Television employees are not the highest paid careers. Like teachers, policemen, firemen and other public servants the folks at CET do it for the love of working with the community. And this I see in each and everyone’s face and conversations.

Personally I feel very proud that they allow me to help in anyway I can, and just last week I had an epiphany!! Working with CET has fulfilled a life long desire of mind to be a part of something bigger than myself, to feel I am giving back to my beloved home town. And for that I thank EACH AND EVERYONE at CET. –Michael Baker
