A KOTO Radio show, called Friday Live, that aired May 16, 1980. Terry Selby (substituting for Jerry Greene) interviews Presbyterian minister, Roger Knapp. Roger prefers to refer to himself as an awakener. Roger is from the New Jersey and Ohio areas, studied religion/psychology in North Carolina and went to a Princeton seminary for graduate work. He worked in Oklahoma/Texas as a minister and was doctored there.
While backpacking through Telluride, he fell in love with the valley and moved to Telluride in 1978. Dr. Knapp believes Telluride is very progressive in that we are always looking towards the future and talking about development and growth.
Roger is very active in the Telluride community, as the chair of Accountability for the school, on the board of directors for Arts & Humanities, and as a member of the Committee for Regional Planning and Advisory. He discusses all three of these committees and their goals.
Roger does not believe Telluride will ever grow too much because of natural environmental factors surrounding the town.
In Dr. Knapp's personal life, he provides counselling. He discusses the types of counselling methods he uses.
This recording is about 45 minutes long.
