I saw on the TV news from Tulsa that KAKC had fired everybody on the air from noon till midnight along with some off air people. The crime, they were at a party where they were smoking marijuana. I drove over and interviewed for the gig. Lee told me to go somewhere and tighten up and come back in six months. By then, I no longer wanted to be a jock but rather was in radio news.<br /><br />30 years go by and I'm looking for a gig. I'm in Dallas, I'd gotten his home phone somehow and called him up. He told me he was just retiring from radio. Besides a long stretch at KAKC (one of the stations that Bill Drake consulted even though it wasn't an RKO station) as morning man and PD, then worked with Drake- Chenualt (sp?) in programming. <br /><br />He consulted stations including WHAS Louisville which he told me he consulted more than 20 years.
