A message from Amanda Mountain, president & CEO of Rocky Mountain Public Media: "I'm so sad to share the news of Cynthia Hessin's passing. While she hasn't worked at RMPBS in many years, she was a fixture at RMPBS. Cynthia hosted a public affairs show that ran every Friday on RMPBS called Colorado State of Mind and she was a venerable journalist deeply respected in her field. Cynthia passed away on Friday after a battle with cancer. It's an honor to be even a small part of her legacy." https://lnkd.in/gxuHkjvW
