DC Chymes loses radio gig and, probably, stripper wife ...

Got this today regarding the former Steve & DC radio team partner:

Hi Mike,

Well Thursday the GM fired Isaiah. His wife was cut loose about a month before. Quite the elaborate story was story be Zac to get his wife back in the building. She was leaving him for a cop in West Virginia (most likely GETTING ARRESTED by a cop in West Virginia). Relentlessly desperate to get her back in the building! I am not sure what the final straw was, but the apartment they were living in they attained under the name of their intern (who happens to be a cousin of the PRESIDENT of the company).... Get evicted & they did more than $8000 worth of damage to the apartment... Of coarse, since it's all done under the name of the intern, the law goes after this poor kid! That may have been the last straw, but I haven't been briefed about it yet. I am just basking in not only RELIEF to be RID of that CLAN, but basking in the "TOLD YOU SO"...UFFDA!

DC (real name Isaiah Wilhelm) had been working in Grand Forks, North Dakota for Leighton Broadcasting at the recommendation of consultant John Lund.

Where will he turn up next?

Richardson Heating & Cooling ...

The AC compressor (the noisy thingie outside) at The Manse shot craps a couple days ago after years of use. It got hot quick. While it cooled down, Jim and Carol Richardson spent a lot of time looking for an R- and BTU- compatible unit, found one, and Jim plugged it in Wednesday PM.

Their service truck fleet, their offices and their home got the snot knocked out of them by the recent hailstorm; Jim and Carol could use your business.  Call 314-429-1156.

Remembering all the years ago ...

RIP 221st Sig Co.photogs Larry Young, Chris Childs, Ron Lowe, Doug Itri and Ray Paradis.

On May 9, 1970 five 221st Signal Company combat photographers were killed in the downing of a UH-1D Huey of the 189th Assault Helicopter Company, GhostRiders 079. The shootdown occured near Pleiku as the men were taking part in the Cambodian incursion then underway. The exact circumstances may never be known but it is evident that the chopper was flying low enough to be hit by enemy small arms fire.

Some survivors, including me, of our unit are having a memorial and reunion dinner this evening at a hotel near Lambert. The dinner and the reunion was put together by former CBS exec Bob Fullstone, previously an LT with the 221st. The honor guard will be provided by Transcom at Scott AFB.

It's been a long 40+ years.

Craig Cornett, R.I.P.

He was 46. Read it here.

KTRS deserves this guy ...

JC out at KTRS ...

Dorsey demons do their devilment. Tim's no longer in charge?

Ha!

The lock: John Carney into The Big 550 (again) as soon as he can plug in his headphones.
