Just wanted to let folks know, they do not have their name displayed, should they want to leave comments incognito . You can sign in under any guise you wish. And I do believe you can log in as a 'guest', as well. Feel free to share!

I have many great memories of growing up in E-town in the 60's and 70's and listening to WIEL and hanging out there as a teenager. I had a number of friends who worked at the station including Greg Kapfhammer who was a night time DJ. Greg's brother Jon and I hung out there a lot and helped sweep up and take out the trash (one of the job's night time DJ's had to do apparently). I can still here that old news teletype maching clacking away in it's little room. I remember listening to Dick Curtis calling ball games for EHS and making them come alive over the air! I would listien to away basketball games and pretend I was a player and would set a pot up on the kitchen cabinet and use paperwads for basketballs and I would play along to Dick's "play by play". I also remembeer Dick having an evening show called "Dinner Date" on which he played a lot of older Big Band music and from listening to those shows I developed a livelong interest in that style of music. I met Ron Boone when he arrived in 1973 and was a friend of his for the rest of his life. I sure do miss his wonderful voice doing the local news. I think Ron had the "most trusted" voice in Hardin County! His coverage of the 1974 Tornados will be in my head forever! I can also remember way back to Mr. Bill Earl doing the news and Bill Harris and his wonderful booming voice. I remember Mr. Harris announcing at the Hardin County Fair Horse Shows for years. A little newer memory is of the Santa and Sparky show, what a hoot! I better quit, I am getting carried away with the good memories!
