ANDY WALDROP (Houston, TX) Jim, Marty Ambrose passed-away this morning, As you probably knew, he had been diagnosed not too very long ago with ALS. He took himself off the air several weeks ago when he just couldn't do it anymore. He had been getting progressively worse. Early yesterday he reportedly told Scott Arthur that he would be going home to be with the Lord today (meaning yesterday). He was correct. I haven't heard of any service plans as of yet. Andy

JOHN JACKSHAW (Houston, TX) Subject: Marty Ambrose. Posted on Facebook a few minutes ago: Traffic legend Marty Ambrose was diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, back in April. It was already advanced at that time. Marty died this morning, he was 69. Marty was a gentle soul with a smile that would light up a room. RIP Marty. The airwaves won't be the same without you.

MIKE BRAUN (Fort Worth, TX) Subject: Buddy Bostick birthday. Jim, Here are items I hope you’ll use in your next newsletter: I’d like to say "Happy Birthday" to Texas broadcasting pioneer M.N. "Buddy" Bostick. He celebrated his 92nd birthday last month. Buddy was the longtime president and general manager of KWTX Broadcasting Company, which owned and operated KWTX-AM, KWTX-FM and KWTX-TV, Channel 10 in Waco. This year, Channel 10 marks its 55th year serving Central Texas. Next year, KWTX-AM will celebrate 65 years on the air. In addition to the Waco stations, Buddy and his business partners also started KBTX-TV, Channel 3, Bryan; purchased KXII-TV, Channel 12, Ardmore, Okla.; KNAL radio, Victoria; and KLFY-TV, Lafayette, La. Buddy was voted Pioneer Broadcaster of the Year in 1996 by the Texas Association of Broadcasters. I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spin records and talk on the radio at T-X AM and FM when I was hired in 1975 by program director Dave South (who is now the Texas A&M sports announcer) and the late Frank Fallon, station manager and the fabulous sports voice of the Southwest. Frank was inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame in 2004. Thanks, Jim, and best wishes. -- Mike Braun

ED MILLER (Austin, TX) Jim, We kept after it all night, and only stumbled back across the river at breakfast time. We were all broke, having spent everything on beers and young Mexican beauties. Got back to the hotel not long before time for our return flight, with no money to pay for our room. We lowered the luggage out the back window into the field behind the hotel, hoofed it casually out through the lobby like we were headed out for breakfast, slipped around back, got the suitcases, and headed off down the road towards the airport as fast as we could walk in our seriously weakened and still considerably impaired condition. Hitch-hiked up a ride, made it to the plane on time, and got back to Dallas less than 24 hours after we left. Only sleep we got was on the flight back to Dallas. Don't know how or if you can clean this up for a family-oriented website, Jim, but there it is. Different world back then. They'd throw us in prison for that kind of behavior these days. -Ed
