Melissa Benmark, Morning Edition Host

In just a few more days, WKAR's Melissa Benmark begins a new journey -- into retirement!

Melissa has been such an important part of our community since joining the station in 1989, and as your mid-Michigan host of Morning Edition for more than a decade.

If you've enjoyed waking up to Morning Edition with Melissa, or having her along on your morning commute...

Please take a moment to leave a comment below or on Facebook wishing Melissa well on her next adventure.
