He tells what that was like and why he did it on the nationally produced Shaping Families radio program June 2-3, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Miller was a guidance counselor at Broadway High School and had read an article about local artist Ken Schuler, donating a kidney. Then about ten years ago, Miller was reading an article in Sports Illustrated about basketball player Alonzo Mourning needing a kidney and the writer mentioned all the people that had come forward to offer to donate a kidney to the NBA star. The writer made the point, &#8220;If you would donate a kidney to Alonzo Mourning, why wouldn&#8217;t you just donate it to anybody?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Miller gave it a lot of thought over the years and last December donated a kidney.<\/p>\n<p>Locally the 15-minute weekly program airs on WSVA (550) and WBTX (1470) Sunday mornings at 7:15 and 9:15 a.m. respectively.
