Remembering WXRT’s Lin Brehmer
It was last July when Brehmer revealed that he had been battling prostate cancer for several years, before taking a medical sabbatical that lasted until Nov. 28, when he returned to do 10am-1pm.
Brehmer met his wife, Sara Farr, in college. “Yes, we were college sweethearts,” she said on Sunday, adding that they dated for 16 years before getting married. “We didn’t want to ruin a good thing. We got married in 1997 and it was wonderful. I learned very early on that I would have to share Lin with thousands of others. I understood, and was happy to do so because there really was no difference between the man on the radio and the man I knew.”
