"Just saw your rewind on WYSH. When WRJZ was just getting going, the PD Bob Kaghan mentioned that he would like to try a woman on the air and told us to let him know of any good female jocks. I was dialing around one day and landed on WYSH and heard a really good female doing a remote. I got Kaghan to give her a listen and he wound up hiring her. The female in question worked all nights initially and went on to middays before getting into TV. She went from Knoxville to Durham to Chicago to Denver where she still anchors for the NBC affiliate there. Her name? Adele Arakawa or just "Adele" as she was known on WRJZ. Not a bad career for a country girl from Lafollette." (Curtis Parham)
