With a martini in one hand and a microphone in the other, veteran broadcaster Mildred MacDonald entertained us with her innate ability to find the story in everyday people and events. She is survived by her daughter, Alex, and her partner Martin Clary; granddog Zoë; and her sisters, Merrie Bulin (Swift Current) and Marg Galvin (Dryden).
