Hello George! Just catching up on 101 and ran across the reference to the clothing store for transvestites in Vestal. Shouldn't that have been for "TransVestalites?" Tell Dave Foulk I found the 65 pounds that he lost. I was wondering who they belonged to. They sure don’t fit me well. I didn’t know Ron Ashburn, but I listened to him for years growing up and later when I moved to K-town to work in radio. Loved his delivery, even the long pauses in his later years. I often wondered if he’d gone out for a smoke between the “W” and the “N” of “WNOX News." I’ve enjoyed the comments from those who knew Ron. Wish I’d had the opportunity to work with him.

Jim "Iron Man" Humphries just retired from the Railroad and owns the very popular Jimmy's Original Southern Pub on Tazewell Pike at Broadway behind Sun Trust Bank. He has a lot of Knoxville history and his radio days stuff on the walls...Regards~ (Ben Humphries, his brother)
