I can remember two events right off the bat that peg the shame-o-meter for me :) One was one night when I shut down the station - so it was probably a wednesday or a sunday night. I had a school

She should have graduated in 1972, if I remember correctly. She went on to teach for many years, first in classrooms and then for homebound kids, and nowadays is busy home-schooling her own

Thanks. Andy

Jerry Hooper sent me an "off the record" email today. He's in eastern Russia and promised to fill us in when he finds a better internet connection. The last I heard from Hoop was when I visited

Seth, You should have had your crowd noise cart ready, taken over the play-by-play yourself and finished the game early! Russ Roberts

Hi everyone! I also have a Phil Goodwin/Swap Shop memory, which I'll get to right after a brief preface. During the time I was at WJMA (late '76 til '79), Ross Hunter did an excellent job making the

It's been good to read the emails with information on what people have been doing since WJMA days. Here's my story. Shortly after the sale of WJMA (was it 1984?), I could see very quickly that it

Excellent

Are you kidding? I think still of Elder Battle when I get dressed for church on Sunday morning, but I don't wear a tie anymore. For many, many people in the listening area, his show was a prelude to

Arch somehow knew, even though I hadn't been at the station in a few years, that I had spent the entire day in the UVA Hospital Family Lounge waiting for short visits to see my husband who had had
