PAT MCGOWAN (Chandler, AZ) Subject: George Lester. Hello Jim, Enjoy your updates. Been a LONG time since my Houston days ('67-'74) but interesting to see what's happening. Years ago was a neighbor and friend of George Lester (KIKK, KENR, KTRH, etc.) Years later established an email "stay in touch". Have not heard from GL in well over a year, and am wondering if he is OK and still with us. Any knowledge of his status? Thanks!

GEORGE LESTER and his wife live in Elkhart which is in east central TX near Palestine. Hear from him frequently until his email address begins to bounce over a month ago. Hope everything goes well with George Lester.

RED JONES (Carrollton, GA) Subject: Bob Grant Email. Bob Grant was asking about John Trotter. John worked a number of stations around the country. I first worked briefly with him at KAKC Tulsa as I was coming out of the Army where Chris Lane was also on the staff. When I was PD at KILT Houston I hired him as morning man and gave him the Honest John moniker. Great talent. Then he worked at KRIO McAllen Texas for awhile then moved to Abilene Texas where he passed away. Sad loss. Red Jones

CHUCK CASHMERE (San Diego-San Marcos, CA) Hi Jim, I noted an item from Larry Scott the other day. One of the coolest people I've met in broadcasting, always cordial and a standup guy. Worked with him on an account back in 1973. I was doing commercials for a local dealership sponsoring Porter Waggoner & Dolly Parton. He left the scene here a couple of years later. When I left LA to return to Big H, he kept me company outside Las Cruces on into Fort Stockton on some station out of Ft Worth/Dallas all niter. Good to know he's hanging with us. Take care. Keep up the good work. CC

LARRY SCOTT [Dallas-Terrell, TX] Subject: Jim Rose Remembers Radio (#780) February 19, 2010 [Friday] A few years back the call letters were changed from KTER to KPYK. I haven't heard (Reverend) Warren (Daniels) in awhile. I used to get a kick out of listening to him on Saturday evening. I think he still preaches in Rockwall. His wife Linda died a few years ago and his two boys are in and out of jail. Most of the time in jail. Seems they can't leave drugs alone. Take care.

MIKE SHANNON (Dallas-Mesquite, TX) Subject: For JRRR! Hi Jim and Lacy! First, thanks to Mike Simpson for the mention in the last JRRR. Always a lot of fun at our quarterly DFW Radio Lunch Bunch events, and you never know who might show up! Sam Pate was an absolute gem, we were blessed with his presence, and he is sorely missed. Next Lunch Bunch is coming up in March. I'll send you details to post. Also, Joyce Webster wrote you about the old KIXL in Dallas...for one, I wish we DID have a repository for old broadcast equipment in Dallas. Once upon a time, we had the Texas Broadcast Museum, which later moved across town and became the National Museum of Communications. It's been gone for at least 10 years now, and the contents are rumored to be sitting in a public storage warehouse in nearby Irving, gathering dust. One of the broadcasting "finds" once contained there was the original, massive Voice of America console. I do have my own little radio repository at the house (what radio person doesn't?) and part of that collection is the original green metal building sign from KIXL Radio, originally located at 1401 S. Akard in Dallas. Kind of a long story, but it's out of the elements now and waiting for a permanent home one day in a SOLVENT and PERPETUALLY-FUNDED local broadcast museum! Thanks, Mike Shannon
