Tom Campbell 1979

    


So what kind of jock would put his home phone number in ads?  Tom Campbell would.  You can say he was accessible... In 1971 Tom joined the network for a long run.

Hear Tom every day at 11am Pacific, p2m Eastern on the Hook:

National Guard Assembly 1947

 


Paul Whiteman with Hildegard

I was copying a bunch of AFRS ETS and saw "National Guard Assembly".  I thought it was another normal recruiting show.  In 1947 The Guard was doing a show on ABC with bandleader Paul Whiteman.  This would have been around the time that Roger Carroll was a staff announcer there, unfortunately not on this program..

AFN Berlin - Henry Michaels 1970

 



Robert Barker shares more memories of 1970 in Berlin:

AFN building Berlin 1945-79


Here is Specialist Henry Michaels hosting his AFN-Berlin morning Wake-Up Easy program from 26 Oct 70. It is apparent that Henry was still waking up at the beginning of his program for he misreads his time-check several times. Preceeding Michaels program you will hear a "Project Partnership" (the German word for tank is "panzier") promo, AFN Europe Morning sign on with the the songs of our armed forces, station frequencies, the National anthem, six hrs European time check, news with Jan Wood, USO Mail Call promo, Hymns from Home and NATO promo. Henry's program begins at 15:30 into the segment. Enjoy. Robert
