Ethel Ernestine Harper Was The Last Real-Life Model For This Brand
Ginny here! As you know I love history; and WMTR has been serving the Morris County and surrounding areas for over 70 years.
I was reminded of that this morning, reading the news.
Ethel Ernestine Harper was the last real-life model for this brand.
She went on to teach black history to area residents, and she hosted an issues-oriented radio program, “Youth Speaks Out; Age Speaks Out; Are You Listening?” that aired Saturdays right here on WMTR.
Ginny Otte is a lifelong resident of New Jersey, having grown up in Lincoln Park, and lived in Wayne. She began her career in radio as the result of a prank phone call where the on-air personality she called said “please call again tomorrow,” and the station hired her to produce the show two months later; by 2006, Ginny began working middays at WMTR, and considers spending middays with listeners for so many years to be one of the highlights of her life. Ginny’s hobbies include genetic genealogy, family trees, knitting, crocheting, camping and hiking. She is a mother to three adult children and a grandmother to one.
