It's been a great 40 years at KBIA. But KBIA wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for our listeners. To celebrate this anniversary, we've launched the '40/40 project.' We're visiting 40 cities and towns - in Mid-Missouri and beyond - where our members have shown their support for KBIA.We aim to send a 'postcard' to our listeners from each of these places - telling you about the things we see and sharing conversations with the people we meet. We'll be posting the stories and photos from these cities and towns on this site as KBIA's 40th Anniversary celebration continues in 2012.You can also hear the audio pieces on KBIA during Morning Edition and All Things Considered.All these stories and more are collected at www.4040project.org.

KBIA visits Lohman

Small towns, people say, are school and church communities.  Well, drive just 15 minutes into the countryside around Jefferson City and you'll find Lohman, a town too small to have its own school.  As a matter of culture, or default, public life revolves around the local Lutheran church in Lohman.  KBIA's Scott Pham visited that church and found a town with a strong sense of history in the face of major changes to its way of life.

This postcard from Lohman is part of the 40/40 Project: KBIA is celebrating its 40th anniversary by visiting 40 different towns in Mid-Missouri.  Find them all at The 40/40 Project.
