S.C. Teen's Promprosal Required An Airplane

Published April 15, 2015 at 7:15 AM EDT

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Noah Matthews asked one of life's big questions. He lives in Darlington, S.C., and he wanted to ask a girl to prom. A friend took Julianne White on a plane ride. She looked down on the field where Matthews had plowed in 450-foot letters a single word - prom? She did not demand a complete sentence from the guy. She said yes to the dance at West Florence High School this Saturday. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
