Good to hear from you. Yes, those were fun years. I still do some radio with a co-host. We're on 3 Indiana LPFMs and, of course, online as well. It's just enough to keep those pesky radio dreams at bay. I still have a day job as a LCSW at a healthcare organization. I'll retire one day. Thanks for your note!!!

Hi Dick:

Allan Sniffen here. I was two years behind you at St. Lawrence and did that same morning shift on WSLU a year after you did it. It was fun reading your memories of it -- it wasn't any different a year later. It felt like "dialing for dollars" turning that transmitter on in the morning.

Then, of course there was the challenge of pronouncing the artist names correctly off the back of the album covers or get a call from Rick Hutto.

My heart was in Top 40 radio -- a totally different radio thing. I did hit radio for until 1990 until I gave it up to focus on my "real job" of practicing dentistry. But I'm back at it again today running an Internet station. You know what they say -- once it's in your blood.

Anyway, thanks for the WSLU memory :)
