"It was a very exciting event," said Dr. Scoggin. "I felt surprised and very humble."
He will be in the running for one of twenty N.C. Governor's Medallion Awards. Scoggin has volunteered at WCPE, a not-for-profit classical music radio station, for 24 years. He began by stuffing envelopes, cutting grass, cleaning and answering the phones. For the past 12 years he has hosted his own evening program, titled Music in the Night. In order not to disappoint his listeners, Scoggin has worked holidays and even spent three days at the station during a snow storm. Recently, he has taken on new duties as a script writer for the up-coming 30th Anniversary of WCPE.
Scoggin holds a Ph.D. in Hebrew and Biblical Studies and has participated in 30 archaeological excavations in Israel and Cyprus. Scoggin and his wife Hannah have one daughter, four grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
