Norbert Neuss, a research chemist at Eli Lilly and Company, found little classical music on the airwaves of central Indiana in the 1960’s. He co-founded the Fine Arts Society of Indianapolis and for 40 years was the radio host of the Society’s classical music programs on WAIV-FM, and later on WIAN-FM and WICR-FM. In 1986 Dr. Neuss and the Society received a George Peabody Award for their accomplishments. He was a passionate supporter of the arts. He died Nov. 11, 2006.
