WWOZ is deeply grateful for the generous bequest left by Ultimate Guardian of the Groove Rick Titus, who passed away last year.

Rick spent his professional career as a Senior Investigator for the Office of Consumer Protection in Montgomery County, Maryland and as a Vice President of Government Relations in the renewable energy field.

He studied Urban Planning and Sociology at the University of Iowa.

Rick loved WWOZ and was a longtime Guardian of the Groove who loved all things New Orleans and attended Jazz Fest for many years.

Thank you, Rick, for being a Guardian Angel of the Groove. 💜🎶💜🎶💜

Please consider including WWOZ in your legacy planning. For more information, contact WWOZ General Manager Beth Arroyo Utterback at [email protected].
