The birthday greetings are going to be a big part of our history and so far it tells an important part of our story.
Still time to get yours in!

WOW....I remember Linda (Blake) Thompson from her first days at AFN Stuttgart as a fresh DINFOS grad and then transferring into news at HQ in Frankfurt. Wonder if she has any air checks from those DJ days she wouldn't mind sharing?
ReplyDeleteIf had re-upped for 71R and stayed in for awhile, I sure would have been able to write my own ticket anywhere....and have a good career.

I echo Jim Johnson's comment. Truly a GREAT job. I also agree with Thom that we need Jim Johnson (and perhaps Lips Malone) on it too!

What a great birthday card! The time I spent in New York and Taipei was truly memorable. I even moonlighted at WOR - TV's master control on the 82d floor of the Empire State Building. In 1965, it took about eight people to air "The Million Dollar Movie" including a live announcer in the booth.
ReplyDeleteThe whole production is finally done. Thanks to all.
