My first radio job, after broadcast school in Milwaukee, was in Rogers City, Michigan. Nice small town on the water (nice beaches)in northern lower Michigan. The station was
WHAK.
I met these guys at a sock-hop I did in Petoskey who called themselves the
Heathens. We actually did a half-hour live radio broadcast on Saturday mornings. Owner was a religious fanatic and didn't like the name of the band. His wife who was secretary took me aside one day and said I didn't belong in radio because I wasn't good enough. Decided to move to St.Ignace and work for
WIDG(widg by the bridge)as Joe Arthur. That is where I met
Kathy.
Thought I had better write some of this stuff down while I still remember it.

A handsome young band member. Those were the days! Great music, the best, the height of the creative music industry when you could make your dreams come true. It doesn't seem that long ago, but...
