Re: [IRCA] the passing of Pete Wilson

["Joe Miller, AB8YP" <ab8yp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thx Chris and the group, I appreciate the
clarification as well. I was out in Seattle Washington
and Orange County California in 2003 and listened to
KGO at night, but Bill Westenhaver (sp???) is the only
announcer that I remember listening to on KGO.

And as long as we're talking KGO, I believe this was
the station that WJR's J. P. McCarthy worked at in the
late 1950's, in between his two gigs at WJR. Of course
the second gig lasted for almost 35 years until his
death in 1995.

73 de Joe Miller, AB8YP, Troy, MI
