BILL GARDNER [ex KVIL FM Dallas, KCBQ-1170 San Diego, KSAN FM San Francisco, WFIL-560 Philadelphia, KOOL FM Phoenix] (Las Vegas, NV)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: Shrewd Choices. Hi Jim\u2026(AND Suzie!) Thanks for your kind words. The \u201cRocky\u201d story always amuses me, thinking what might have been. For me these days, after major market mornings and programming positions in Philly, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, San Diego, Orlando and more, I felt very fortunate that I also have the credentials to be a professional airline pilot. Take a peek at my web site and see what an old disc jockey now looks like as a professional airline pilot. What I like the most is that unlike today\u2019s radio business, airlines and their customers actually appreciate gray hair and decades of experience, and don\u2019t mind paying for it. Plus, some personality goes a long way with the paying customers in this business too. Thanks again for getting back to me!

STANLEY TEATER [ex KTEM-1400] (Austin-Cedar Park, TX)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: Verle Freeman (BJ Adams). Sign me up for the newsletter. I must have been at KTEM (1400) when all of that drama was going on, but I don\u2019t remember hearing anything about it. I lived in the sales department for my first six or seven months there writing commercials. During the 3+ years I was there I was promoted several times, but none of my previous responsibilities went away, new ones were added. I started as a copywriter, then became copywriter\/production director, then copywriter\/production director\/office manager, then copywriter\/production director\/office manager\/operations manager. Finally, they gave the production manager duties to B.J. After the GM Don Chaney was moved to Tyler (He took Chuck White with him) the sales manager George Franz was made GM. Stan<\/em><\/p>\n

TONY BOOTH [KLIF-1190, WFAA-570, KKDJ FM, KAYC-1450, KDOK-1240] (Richmond, VA)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: Tony Booth. Jim, a few columns back you mentioned TONY LAWRENCE. I went to Paris High School with the \u2018other\u2019 Tony\u2026we both were in radio but the two competing stations in Paris. I left for KAYC\/Beaumont up graduation in 1966 and briefly lost contact with Tony. However, when I got back from the Army in 1970, I was briefly PD a KDOK\/Tyler and heard him on WFAA. Shortly there after, I got \u2018the call\u2019 from Michael O\u2019Shea inviting me to come to KLIF. Called Tony one day to let him know where I was and maybe get together for coffee. Never heard back from him but always wanted to know what happened to him. Needless to say, there was a rivalry between us in high school. Is he still in the DFW area? If you talk with him soon, tell him \u201chello\u201d from me. After KLIF, I was PD at KBBC\/Phoenix and did work at KKDJ in LA\u2026then to Pennsylvania and finally here in Richmond, Va for the last soon to be 33 years. Tony<\/em><\/p>\n

JACK PARNELL [former Program Director\/DJ on WHBQ-560] (Memphis, TN)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: \u201cMillion Dollar Quartet\u201d. Afternoon Jim: Guess you knew too that he (Stan Phillips) was an announcer off and on for WREC here in Memphis. He began there as a board engineer\u2026brilliant man. Now, his 2 sons, Jerry and Knox own & run some stations down in North Mississippi. JP<\/em><\/p>\n

TRIVIA ANSWER<\/strong>: On October 10, 1962\u2026the BBC radio service banned the Halloween novelty song\u00a0Monster Mash<\/em>\u00a0by Bobby [Boris] Pickett. Neither obscene nor controversial, the BBC uses catch-all regulation that prohibits the broadcast of anything deemed offensive. What may be offensive to some is hilarious to others.<\/p>\n

WALT PINTO [WLML FM (100.3) Palm Beach, FL middays] (Cobalt, CT)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: Jim Rose Remembers Radio (#1645) August 25, 2017 [Friday] Don\u2019t preview. I use Godaddy\u2019s email program, and click on a message in the inbox and it opens. Using Firefox as a browser. Could that have something to do with it? Anyway, open every message from you that I get and read it all. The trivia questions are great<\/em>.<\/p>\n
