  1. Hi Tim,

    Thanks for posting the WEWS reunion special! I really enjoyed seeing it.

    Bill "Smoochie" Gordon is still around. I'm honored to count him as a friend of mine, and I've just sent him a link to his segments on your Youtube site. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of seeing it again also.

  2. Enjoyed looking at your site. It brought back some wonderful memories of my days in Cleveland at WHK 1959-1964, along with doing a variety show on Sunday mornings on WEWS.
    All the best
