The KVPI family is mourning the loss of another long time member: Miss Bonnie Fontenot. Bonnie age 86 died Monday after a short illness.
For more than 60 years, Bonnie served KVPI as a bookkeeper and Office manager. She was the voice of the 3;00pm Local News for many years. She was honored by the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters for her years of service to the broadcasting industry. Bonnie retired just a few years ago after a lifetime of service. Every one who has ever worked at KVPI will have special memories of Miss Bonnie who was like a second mom to all of us. Love and prayers to her wonderful family who shared their mom with us for so many years.
