Before retiring to LaHave, Putney had been a lawyer in Florida, but his real passion there had been as president of WMNF Community Radio, 88.5 FM in Tampa.One day last August, in the way things happen in this part of Nova Scotia, Sedgwick and Putney were talking things over at the LaHave Bakery, just down Highway 331 from Putney’s home., asked the fellows what they were up to.
