Laura McLaughlin has had an incredibly tough few months.

Back in August, Laura, a friend of 95.9 The RAT, was diagnosed with breast cancer. During her chemo treatments, in October, she was also diagnosed with brain metastasis and lung cancer.

Laura and I actually go way back and share a lot of fun times and better stories at Bar Anticipation here in Lake Como. With that, it's fitting that Bar A is stepping up and helping Laura in her time of need.

Gotts is the unofficial mascot of the county. Whenever WRAT is hosting an event, people ask if Gotts will be there. there. Like Bigfoot, many people claim to see him in the area. According to Gotts, he was thrown out of home school in Monroe Township. To keep up with his own legend, Gotts likes writing about wacky local news that happens – such as pepperoni vandals. His favorite movie is Point Break, and is a big lover of Miller Lite. His favorite words to live by are “The windshield is always bigger than the rearview mirror”.
