Greg Goodfellow

Greg Goodfellow and his family were honored guests at the 2022 WVEA Delegate Assembly Banquet in Charleston, where he was presented with the “WVEA Ermalee Boice Community Outreach Award,” which goes to “an individual or a local who initiates or fosters improvements in relationships between public school and the broader community.”

Selection was mainly based on Greg’s vision which successfully connected school and community by bringing Tyler County its very own radio station. He gained broadcasting experience at a local commercial radio station. He began making contacts with the radio broadcasting community, and also meeting with state and local officials eight years before WRSG 91.5 FM first aired in 2001. The station began with students and teachers reporting weather, news, and special interest stories, while also fostering community involvement. Any time dignitaries visited Tyler County, Greg invited them to the studio to voice special ID liners. He constantly requested information about upcoming local events, and worked tirelessly from the beginning of WRSG’s existence until he retired as station manager in 2021.

Aside from his teaching career and radio work, Greg has contributed a large amount of community service. He was a 4-H Club leader, and youth league and Bible quizzing coach. He has announced many car show fundraisers, Relay for Life events, talent shows, Meet the Team events, prom walk in, and senior nights. Greg was a long time Sunday school teacher, and served on church boards, as well as numerous school, church, and community committees. He sings in the church choir and assists with sound board production. He also enjoys volunteering for a low power FM radio station. Greg was a member of the Sistersville Ferry Board. He currently serves as the at-large representative for Friendly Town Council, as well as member of the Sistersville Lions Club.
