David Blair in the air chair...

Big hair Lyndy...

Polly was Polly Powers back then and she did afternoon news on the Dangerous Doug Weldon show. 
She also had a tape  from March 22nd, 1978 and you can click here to hear it!

Top picture is me (Lyndy) in the WSGF control room. Automation is on the right, you can see a couple of Gates "55s", - the heart of that system. The toggle switch in the lower right corner is part of the time announce controller.

 Just below is David Blair in the 63KBX control room, take a look at the Maggie PT-6 behind David, and the rack hidden behind David at about shoulder level. That's the record rack for the 45's we were still playing in 1978 And that's an Elvis in concert album right behind the record rack.  

I'm pretty sure I remember the day these were taken, it was Polly's last day at the station and she was going around taking pictures. Sure glad these made it through the years, Thanks Polly.

Lyndy: My first job out of UGA was as a copywriter for KBX and SGF. A couple of months into the job the entire news staff was fired and I was asked to do the news (morning and afternoon). I'd come in at 5 a.m. work until 10 a.m. go home and sleep an return at 2:30. It was awful but fun working with nice people like Don Jones and Jerry Katz.

Ron Winders hired me but Doug Weldon was my boss. What a blast from the past! Is the David Blair on your page the big guy who used to eat those little white powdered donuts and Ruffles for breakfast? I can't look at one of those donuts without thinking of him. 
Sad news about Bruce Lapp.

At 73, Karl Wallenda probably should not have been up on a wire strung between two hotels in San Juan, Puerto Rico, ten stories over the street below. And he wasn't for long. The leader of the Wallenda Family, Karl never worked with a net. Because of this 'all or nothing' credo, family members had died in 1962 and 1972.
