Gene Price - 1974

On the Gene Price front, he's going through some health issues and will probably end up in rehab.  There are reasons to be optimistic but I think he's appreciate your prayers.

In 1973 Roger Carroll started the ball rolling on the recruiting shows you may remember from Sunday mornings in the states.  He had the best talent, Gene Price, Roland Bynum, Robert W. Morgan, Billy Pearl and himself.  This is from January 1974, the first Gene Price Country Express.

There is a party going on, with LaRita Shelby.  She shared several programs with us and I'm thankful.

Golden Days Of Radio - 1968

In 1968 Frank Bresee started doing the Golden Days of Radio.  Frank had been a radio star in the 1940s and brought back the memories. The show was most often a potpourri of the best of radio.  Radio dramas and comedy were on AFRTS for many many years.  We still had multiple places with no television station.

Mary Turner 1983

Mary Turner and Ted Nugent

Mary Turner was the opposite of GI Jill and Chris Noel, a broadcaster that was a female, it kept with the times, yet still was the girl left behind.

When Mary started her show we were concerned about how an hour of slamming rock and roll would go over.  I knew the troops would love it but the Colonel?  The Canal Zone civilians?  They really liked to complain.  It went over great and was a wonderful addition.
