would not have changed a thing; however, the lack of retirement and other benefits meant
that I eventually had to leave to find the best thing for myself and family. I recently got
my Private Pilot's license and intend to get the IFR added to my ticket. I have my Extra Ham
license and still have my 1st Class Radiotelephone license (General now I guess). I give
FCC exams every other month for a local group. Although my flying takes most of my free
time now. I also am Master of my Masonic Lodge this year (2006). Would love to hear from
old friends in broadcasting."

formatted KVKI-FM in my hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana; still clinging to
the dream of the 20-hour work week and lots of bad golf (just like my role model,
Larry Ryan)." Favorite story: "Somebody died at a remote. Honest. Grand Rapids,
Michigan in 1987. Human checkers game at the mall, everybody on 'the board',
and one of the players' grandmother dropped dead while I was less than ten feet
away, live on the air. E-mail me your best line. Maybe I haven't heard them all."

Barbara Wunder
WRWM [St. Petersburg FL] 1992-1997
Now: Left WRWM in May 1997. "I just
got tired of low wages and stifling formats. Now I'm doing lots of
free-lance voice work, also free-lance writing - especially in the
recreational boating business. Plus, I've developed a talent for buying and
then selling houses at phenomenal profit ... so that keeps me from
starving!."

WBAL [Baltimore MD] 2002
Now: Scott says (3/04), "After beginning my
radio career in Portland, Maine as a sports broadcaster (most of that time as the voice
of the Maine Mariners), I find myself as a career news person in the Baltimore-Washington
area. Winning a national Murrow Award for my coverage of Cal Ripken's last game was a
thrill, but it's still the daily excitement of working in a radio newsroom that gives me
the greatest thrill."

KFGO [Fargo ND] 1979
Now: Mornings at Talk KFGO, Fargo, North
Dakota. Tom says, "A new contract will take me down this road to 2005. At that
point, I will have spent 50 years in this wild radio business (26 years doing
mornings). I do believe that's enough. Our ratings the past 18 years have been a
complete domination of the market in the morning. The station has also won four
Edward R. Murrow awards, two Peabody awards and two years ago was named the #1
News-Talk station in the country beating out WFAN. Not bad for Fargo."
