DERRILL E. HOLLY (Arlington, VA) Hey buddy, YES, You will survive the heat. And you will survive the loss of your best friend. Jim Rose has a special sense of toughness that has always allowed you to keep a smile and good vibes even when life has been c***. You’ve got so many people who have great memories of their contact with you, it means you have been able to navigate this very tough business without making a lot of enemies. That says a lot about your character Jim. People would not genuinely care about you if you hadn’t made your mark so positively over the years. Jim Rose has no quit in him. Life does go on, and you are gonna be okay, even as you adjust to the changes thrown your way. This ain’t a kick in the b***, just my way of saying wait for the bounce and you’ll be cool. If you haven’t let your health put you down, you ain’t gonna let your mood do it to you. That would be so unlike Jim Rose.

SAM LEE (Beverly Hills, CA) Thanks for the note. I was thinking how well you write. you really have a talent. Perhaps a book on Jim Rose remembers radio? It could be an edit of works past or a complete new bit. Just a thought. Have a great weekend. Sam (www.ZeitgeistCorp.org)

BOB GRANT [Robert Hanger] (Houston-Jersey Village, TX) Couple of "Tips-of-the-Hat" to share, RE: Issue 656, 5/6/09: (1) Sammi Smith got her only GOLD record award in 1971 for her hit, "Help Me Make It Through The Night," & her only GRAMMY too. It was also reported that she moved to Dallas in 1973. (so she has a TX connection) Smith died @61 on 2/12/2005 in OKC. Soul Stirrers death of member J. Taylor; the founder of that famous group, Robert H. Harris, B. in Trinity, TX in 1916 & died in Chicago, on 9/3/2000 AND the famous pop singer, Sam Cooke (1/22/31-12/11/64 @33 in L.A.) was a member of the Soul Stirrers from age 20 to 26. In early 60's I had pleasure of being MC for his show in Tampa (after picking him up @ airport & doing live broadcast interview) & 2 yrs later I had opportunity to bring him on stage at The Mosque, Richmond, VA. Just some added tid-bits of interest. BOB & Sonny Lee

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW (1856-1950) A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
