Seems like yesterday but it was January 1982 when Bill and I were hired on the same day to work as DJs at "62 WRJZ My Kind of Country", our boss was PD Steve Bridgewater (Dr Don West)...
"Hey George..Just a note of thanks for featuring my old friend Jim
Wilson at WTGR. He hired me to join him at TIGER Radio in 1975 where we
enjoyed fun in the sun and a life of ease on the beach. I might
also add Jim and I worked together at three other stations. WRJZ, WCRK,
and WLIK. It was always a pleasure to follow him on the air because he
would hang around after his shift as we talked about working in larger
markets and becoming another Larry Lujack since SuperCFL was our
favorite station at the time. Many times we took road trips to larger
markets to visit other stations and meet their jocks. One in particular
was WKGN in 1972 when we met Wayne Bernard a.k.a. Charlie Chase who
voiced our station promos and sweepers. (I was also fortunate to work in
Nashville while Charlie was at WSM.) As you may know Jim fell and
seriously damaged his
brain in 2006. He has since been involved in a car crash and further
injured himself. However, I try to stay in touch with him from time to
time since he was a BIG help to me in my early days in radio."
