Larry London

  Larry London is the host of the show. He's the man! He speaks so fast and always has something to add more fun to the show. He's an international man and he's been to several different part of the world. We had an exclusive interview with him on . Be sure to check back again soon, because you will be able to read the entire transcript of the interview right here. You'll have the chance to know him better and find out what goes on behind the scences on the show.
 

 

Mary Morningstar

  Mary is an old timer! She's been the studio director for Border Crossings since its inception. She's the Country lady of VOA and has been the host of Country Hits USA since Judy left VOA. You see the smile on her face on this picture? That's what you always have in my mind when you hear the name Mary Morningstar. Border Crossings indeed could not exist without her.
 

 

Lee Dravis, Yvonne Curry, Max Carroll & Vince Bonner

  Lee Dravis is the man behind those funny noises you hear during the show! Right when you don't expect it, Larry brings out a sound or music which impresses you much. Our principle studio technician is truly a magician.

  Yvonne Curry is the producer. She arranges everything, so that everything goes right everyday. Most of the listeners remind her because of her kind voice behind the telephone lines. She gives you confidence and courage to speak out and let the world know more about you.

  Max Carroll is the substitute studio technician. He's very careful about the timing and order of the sounds and music. He usually keeps himself busy on the show and talks less, but we all know how important he is for Border Crossings.

  Vince Bonner is a warm guy. He sometimes acts as substitute studio director, but actually he's mostly the library guy. He makes sure that whatever the listeners ask for, is in the studio at the right time.
 

 

Deedee Barron

  Deedee, seen here with Yvonne and Vince in the VOA music library. She helps the other two to find the requested songs and conduct the research. She also a substitute telephone coordinator.
 

 

Ray Freeman

  Before Larry, Ray was our capitan. He retired after 17 years of golden years on Voice of America. He showed out so much love to all of us and that makes him a big part of our family. We will never forget you Big Ray!

 

Judy Massa

  Border Crossings family could not exist without this lady, the one whose words brought many hearts together and put smiles on faces of millions of listeners worldwide. However she left VOA in early 2001, but all the listeners still consider her as an important part of the big Border Crossings family. She founded the show on October 10, 1996. Inside of her heart is full of kindness. Dear Judy! We, the listeners, love you "truly, madly, deeply"! Even these words cannot show you how do we feel about you... Wherever you are and whatever you do, you will always be our one and only Mama Massa!
