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...
