CHUCK CASHMERE (San Diego, CA) Jim, This fine person worked with me at KMSC in Clear Lake back in 1965. Clarence Chaline was always cordial, forever humble, an all around good guy and fine talent. He was before a lot of your current reader’s time, but I hope you find room to mention his passing in JRRR. Hope all is well and that your grief from losing Tejas is beginning to subside. We never forget those wonderful pets who were always our friends when others were hard to find. Keep up the good work. CC

GORDON BASSHAM (Wichita, KS) Subject: A fine colleague gone. Jeff, Many thanks for letting me know. Clarence ("Bob" to many of us) was a dear man. I used to follow him as the afternoon announcer on KMSC, and will always remember him for his humor. As the "kid" to him, he helped me refine my on-air presence. I enjoyed our friendship. It would be good to get together with you and Jim and the others one day. Let's try to do that before more time slips away. Gordon Bassham

JEFF THOMPSON (Alachua, FL) Subject: A fine colleague gone. Guys: Sad to report that our old KMSC colleague, Clarence Chaline (Better known on the air as Bob Elton) passed away yesterday. He had suffered a number of years of poor health, but that never lessened his great sense of humor." Jim Bell, another of our colleagues, still with KUHF- Radio, University of Houston, informed me today, of the sad news. Clarence had successfully battled a heart conditions, including a bypass for over a decade, but later had mobility problems, but didn't let that get in his way either. He just got one of those motorized chairs and kept on keeping on. About 5 years ago, after decades of total loss of each other's whereabouts...and many unsuccessful searches...Jim Bell finally tracked down Clarence through the Internet, and found where he lived with his beloved wife, Eva Jane, near Jacksonville, Florida. Take care, Jeff Thompson

FRANK HALEY (Albuquerque, NM) Jim, So sorry to hear about your health problems again. My take on that problem, since I was on a "cath" for 5 months, sloshing along with a bag on my leg, I would suggest you find a surgeon who will just take out the prostate, that's what I did, and I'm so glad I did that, the plumbing works just fine thank you very much. That's much better than trying a "ream" job because it won't last very long, I was only on a "cath" after the surgery for a week. and I can't believe they won't give you something for pain. Why not?? I hope you are doing better now. Frank - My life's verse: Isa. 9:6 My "getting through the day" saying: "When the sunshine of God's love meets the showers of our sorrow, the rainbow of promise appears."

HENRY LAROCCA (Beaumont, TX) Hey man! I've been telling you we are gonna have to do dinner...promise...a couple weeks...there'll be a knock at your door...

DADE MOORE (Houston, TX) Jim, what year was that picture of you. Looks like the old FM carpet at 500 Lovett Blvd in KILT FM Room. (www.dade.cc) / (www.angelfireradio.com) / (www.rockandroll.fm)

BOB CROWLEY (D/FW-Arlington, TX) How's the prostate? I'm guessing you got a good report Monday, and are flowing freely. It's kinda scary to hear about people around my age having strokes and heart attacks and prostate problems...being without health insurance and all. If I come in for chest pains (or just about anything), it becomes a 'pre-existing condition; and that means it won't be covered in the future. That is provided I ever find a full-time job. Some days I figure my next station will be a Texaco. But no worries...I'm going to get fat on government cheese! Obama's gonna take care of me! The Democrats are booking me on a ride on the gravy train (with biscuit wheels!). Oh, wait, I'm not an investment banker. Maybe it's time to put the furniture on e-bay. bc

TRIVIA ANSWER: The Beach Boys' Bruce Johnson writes Barry Manilow's hit song I Write the Songs which has worldwide sales of twenty-five million copies.

JOAN PATE-DAY (Cedar Creek Lake,TX) Subject: Sam Pate. From: Rosalyn Costanzo. I received a notice from the State of Texas today, stating that dad (Sam Pate) has been honored by the State of Texas for his contributions to Dallas and his part in the history of Texas. Just thought you'd want to know. I will scan and email it to you when I get a chance. Rosalyn Costanzo

PHIL DONAHUE (December 21, 1935-p) The radio of my youth...is now a quaint memory replaced by computer hard drives.
