A Celebration of Life

Our friend and my Enid Buzz cohort Todd Wheeler passed away this last weekend. Todd was the co-host of E-Talk, BuzzHead Radio, the Enid Podcast, and the 70's Buzz Podcast. He was a partner in our downtown office, our Enid t-shirts and Bottlecaps Mercantile. If you ever saw me out on an adventure Todd was most likely the guy holding the camera. Come celebrate his life with his family on Saturday, July 25 at Settlers Brewing Co.
