FT WORTH, TX ACTRESS MEETS HER DESTINY On August 10, 1924 Martha Hyer is born in Fort Worth, TX. She attends Northwestern University in Evanston, IL and California’s Pasadena Playhouse. Hollywood agent signs her to a three-year contract with RKO Pictures. In 1954, her big break arrives as William Holden’s fiancée in Billy Wilder’s romantic comedy Sabrina.

STRAIT’S LAST STOP IS COWBOYS’ STADIUM Isn’t it appropriate that Country music Superstar George Strait born in Poteet, TX caps off the last tour of his career with a star-studded final performance at the billion-dollar Dallas Cowboys stadium? Strait dazzles an audience of nearly 105,000 screaming fans with duet after duet with some of the biggest names in Country music. On Saturday night, June 7, 2014 Country music legend George Strait strolls across the floor of the Dallas Cowboys’ lavish stadium onto the custom-built stage in a blue plaid shirt, Wrangler jeans, a silver belt buckle and a black cowboy hat to face the largest crowd for an indoor concert in North American history (which exceeds the stadium’s official capacity by 5,000).
BORDER CITY TV ANCHOR BIDS FAREWELL TO EL PASO On September 1, 1956 KVIA TV first signs on the air as KILT TV on VHF CH 13 owned by television and radio personality Gordon McLendon. In March 1957, McClendon sells KILT TV to Joseph Harris and Norman Alexander who flip its call letters to KELP TV. In January 1966, John B. Walton Jr. buys KELP TV. In February 1976, Stanley Marsh 3 is the station’s new owner. In 1979, KELP TV becomes KVIA TV. On July 10, 1981, KVIA TV moves to VHF CH 7. In 2012, Matt Dougherty, born and raised in Houston, TX a Jack Valenti School of Communications graduate, becomes weekend anchor on KVIA TV. On Saturday night, June 7, 2014 KVIA TV staff gives weekend anchor Matt Dougherty a send off.

DON SUNDEEN [DJ/Hi Records promotion/TV ad production] (Dallas, TX) Subject: Jazz legends. This is great stuff. One of my fondest memories is the 15 mins. I spent alone with Louis Armstrong during intermission in a Jazz Concert that I promoted in High School to pay to move the Senior Prom from the smelly, old school gym to the Hotel Jamestown Ballroom. I believe that was the one and only Prom to take place in that venue due to other activities that took place in the hotel’s bars and guest rooms later that night. The hotel also contained the studios of WJTN radio, the first place I ever spoke into a live microphone. My mentor there, Jim Roselle, is in his 40th year on the station. Today the hotel is a retirement home…somehow that seems appropriate.

BILL INGRAM [ex KILT-610] (Houston-Cleveland, TX) I don’t remember (date) Jim… it was somewhere near the end of 91 or the beginning of 92… they wanted (K-MERLE) in place for the up coming rodeo season… Chuck Joseph may remember. It was a very temporary thing that originally was only going to last one week… but the jocks had so much fun with it, Rick let us do it an extra week.

CHARLES GEORGE [ex KCHU FM] (Dallas, TX) As an amateur we are only suppose to use the power to make and keep contact. A good antenna will work better than more power. Also I find the newbies are often better at operating than those who have been around with higher classes of licenses. The newcomers still have it fresh in their minds about what makes for good operating practice. I hear so many talking about Rights but they don’t mention responsibility or accountability unless when talking about others. Like a person running for a Public Office should not be operating a station, they should put the operation in a trust, until after the election they are part of. Also I don’t think money should come from outside of the area that the candidate is running in. 73, Charles George, KC5RAI
TRIVIA ANSWER: In 1960, Ben E. King and The Drifters have a wonderful tune, Save The Last Dance For Me, that reaches #1. The lyrics describe a man who tells his date that she is free to mingle during the evening, but to make sure to save the last dance of the night for him. Legendary songwriter Doc Pomus pens the tune on the day of his wedding. You see, Doc Pomus has polio and needs crutches to get around, but his wife is a Broadway actress and dancer. The wheelchair-bound groom, Doc Pomus, watches his bride who dances with their guests but she must not forget that she goes home with him. Save The Last Dance For Me lands on Billboard on September 9, 1960 and remains #1 for three weeks. Elvis Presley has several hit records with Doc Pomus tunes: (Marie’s The Name) His Latest Flame, Girl Happy, Little Sister, A Mess Of Blues, She’s Not You, Suspicion, Surrender and Viva Las Vegas.
CC MCCARTNEY [ex KRBE FM-voice talent] (Nashville-Hendersonville, TN) Subject: Jim Rose Remembers Radio June 09, 2014 [Monday] Issue #1310 You have my vote for the TRHOF this year, you deserve it old friend!~ CC (www.ccmccartney.com)
HARRY S. TRUMAN [33rd President of the United States 1945–1953] (May 8, 1884 – December 30, 1972) It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
