Greetings from 101!

Today we'll feature some comments we have received from readers. Keep the great stories, comments, and photos coming!...and send 101 your link!

Tom Jester..."Claude the Cat is my all-time radio hero- a true genius if there ever was one!"

Ed Brantley..."It's like growing up all over again!"

Mike Beach..."Some legendary talents have passed thru K-town. I was speaking with Dave Young just the other day, and inquired about the possibility of starting a Knoxville radio hall of fame. With the likes of Ron Ashburn, George Mooney, and many others, it would have a fine start..."

Jack Diamond..."I was in Knoxville from February of '73 until September, and have some great memories of those early days, especially that one day in July when Bob Baron informed me that I had beaten WNOX in teens during the spring book. I had 250 watts, they had 10,000 and that ranks among the top 5 thrills I have had in this 38 year career." (now Coyote Calhoun, PD and afternoon drive on WAMZ Louisville.)

Chip Emerson..."I think this is just great as I see names and think of people I have not seen in 30 years."

Ted Ferguson..."On the 'KGN staff in 1970. Left Knoxville to go to WMMS Cleveland, and then WDVE in Pittsburgh, and later on 'DRQ Detroit."
