WATERTOWN — Co-workers, listeners and other friends recently gathered for a benefit for the family of Bud “Green” Yeman.  The Froggy 97 (WFRY) afternoon driver lost two daughters and a soon-to-be-born grandchild during a Memorial Day weekend crash that also claimed two other lives.

WATERTOWN — Like it or not, there’s no denying the success of Fox TV’s American Idol, currently running in its 8th season.  And as long as the show does well, so do many regional efforts that mimic the show — including the current “North Country Idol” contest sponsored by Froggy 97 (WFRY).
