I’ve always been fascinated by history..especially the history of the company where I worked for 32 years. If anybody had a question..or needed information about the station’s background or its early celebrities, I was the go-to guy.

Linda and I are going on an adventure this afternoon…something we’ve never done before…and NO it has nothing to do with a trip to Annabelle’s first..sheesh!
