MARY LYNN KNOCHELMAN (Cincinnati, OH) Subject: Andy Furman's Returning To Radio! I sent you a link to the story earlier this week, and will send you the story tomorrow or Sunday, or whenever it's written. But Andy is one of my Facebook friends and has confirmed to me that he will have a Cincinnati based sports talk show on "Real Talk" WQRT-1160 beginning Monday, February 8, from 5-7Pm weekdays. Andy has been out of radio for over two years. For 18 years he was the main Sports Talk Host on WLW-700, but was fired without cause in October 2006, three weeks after being suspended for calling former Bengals receiver a "racist" on his show for skipping a scheduled radio interview between the two of them. That's when I first began reading your Jim Rose Remembers Radio Newsletter, because you quoted Andy saying his "radio career is over". That's when I emailed you to tell you he had found a Sports Talk job on Supertalk WFTK FM. He did that job for about a year when that station changed its format to Rock Music. Hopefully this new job will last longer for him, because the station already has an all talk format, all national shows, until Andy begins February 8. And it's an advantage being an AM signal, as I think it's much stronger than FM. For an hour 6-7PM he'll be in direct competition, with his former Employer WLW's Sports Talk which runs weeknights from 6-9pm, unless there's a sports game the station plays instead. Lance McAlister is the current main WLW Sports Talk host. Mary Lynn Knochelman; Cincinnati, Ohio

RICK HEROLD (D/FW-Grand Prairie, TX) Subject: Bruce Hughes. Jim, Thanks. I hope I can find his step-son someday. Bruce was quite a character. I was at KLIF (1190) in 1974-75. Bob Schuman was the News Director. I found him in Detroit and we shared emails a few years ago. Bill Grady, now in Kansas City was also there. Ed Routh was the General Manager. Mike Snyder was also in the News Room. He switched and went over to KNUS, the last McLendon station. Mike brought me over to KNUS. He then got a TV job in Houston and Bart McLendon brought Bruce in. Tony Garret was also the News Director at KNUS for a while. Thanks Jim for all your GRAND work! I will miss Bruce Hughes always...Rick (www.GrandFunGP.com)

JOE FORD (Houston-Spring, TX) Subject: Dan McCurdy's post. Jim, I saw Dan McCurdy's post about the Great Pyrenees he found. They are, without a doubt, true "gentle giants". Our Pyr, Beau, has been with us for 11 years. He's a rescue dog, weighs in at 152 pounds, beautiful solid white, very loving and sweet. That's their nature. People are always shocked when they meet Beau and find out that we keep him in the house. Their response is amazement that a dog that big could live in the home! We wouldn't have it any other way. It gets a bit crowded when he decides he wants to sleep with us, but we adjust. We like to say: This is Beau's house. He just lets us live in it! The bad news about the Pyrenees, and most of the big breeds, is the fact that their life expectancy is around 10 years, so we treasure every single day we have with this big lug. He owns our hearts and we currently try to make him as comfortable as possible. Enjoy your "huge girl", Dan, and Jim...give Lacy a pat on the head from Beau.
