Leaving the AFVN@YahooGroup Group - Steve Zeigler
January 2016
From: Steve Zeigler
Date: January 1, 2016
Subject: Hello and Goodbye
Hello AFVNers - Next week I will be unsubscribing from these emails simply because I get too much stuff. I have to cut back.
I signed up for these AFVN emails many years ago because.....
1 - as a kid, I listened to Armed Forces Radio on shortwave
2 - I spend 36 years in commercial radio at..... A - WHOF in Canton, Ohio B - WIOD AM & FM in Miami C - Into Tomorrow Radio Network - Miami
When I was drafted into the US Army I asked for Armed Forces Radio, but they thought I'd make a good MP, and so it was. But I did setup a small station in our barracks at a Nike Hercules site - we had a lot fun.
I leave you with a YouTube video of one of the GREATS in broadcasting, Bruce Morrow, "Cousin Brucie". Rich Stevens Show from 850 WFTL South Florida - Interview runs 41 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_HjOAUXz5Q
Have a great New Year !
Steve

Hello AFVNers - Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts.
I would love to go to San Diego, Joe, and say.... "Permission to come aboard?"
But that wont happen. TSA has ripped the fun-loving heart out of flying. (Florida to CA)
As for now, I'll skip the "digest" version too - thanks for that suggestion.
Have a great New Year ,and beyond....
Steve
PS: "Page 2" is from Paul Harvey. I had the honor of engineering two of his live ABC broadcasts from Miami.
