Hi, all.
It's been 2 1/2 days and I'm still getting notes from former co-workers and even people in the industry I've never met.
I don't think I've ever been so touched than by the complimentary comments everyone has made. I honestly don't see myself as being much of what they see in me.
45 years in the radio business is a long time. Things have changed in many ways, but there are still good people in it. Some of the young people today are smart and intuitive and I can't speak of them highly enough.
I had 16 years working the same shift and 23 1/2 years at the same place. How some of my co-hosts put up with me, I don't know.
Plenty of crazy and funny things have happened over the course of my career. I could write a book and no one would believe any of it, except for radio people because anyone in the business for any period of time has similar tales.
I'll miss being on the air because that what I've wanted to do since I was kid.
My thanks to radiofan for this forum. It's been 43 years since we worked together. I lasted six weeks at CJJC. I did better this time.
Jim
