Hometown gal Diane Rehm, one of National Public Radio’s most popular show hosts, is signing off after working the airways for decades. Friends, family and colleagues gathered for a farewell party, emceed by Kojo Nnamdi, at the Willard Hotel, Nov. 10. WAMU began airing “The Diane Rehm Show” in 1979. The 80-year-old survived a disorder that effected her vocal cords, and, after her husband’s death two years ago, became an advocate in the Right to Die movement.
