Your Old Friend(s) from KOMO

Left to Right:
Joe Cooper, Jaynie Dillon, Roger B. Nelson
c. 1986 at KOMO Radio

Your old friend Joe is known by several names:

• Real name Joseph Giannunzio
• Recording artist and frontman for Joey Gee and The Come-ons
• Longtime career as a DJ and radio personality Joe "Copper" Cooper.  Joe writes and shares some great stories and introspection on all sorts of topics.  

In real life, I'm Jaynie Jones.  But, like Joe, I spent more than a couple of decades on-the-air in radio broadcasting also known by various on-air names, but best known as Jaynie Dillon.

Joe and I worked together for upwards of ten (10) years at KOMO Radio, Seattle. Newsman Roger B. Nelson has continued on his award-winning career path in Spokane, Washington at KXLY.

I've told Joe that he should be utilizing the blog, which I set up for him years ago. It has remained in limbo for about six (6) years now.  Recently, I contacted him again and encouraged him to start posting.  He seemed more comfortable having me edit his writings and post them to the blog.  I am happy to do that!

I am going to go back through nearly a hundred e-mails and select ones to post. There will be a flurry of apparent 'new' activity on the blog, but once I get it caught up and current, postings will be a little less frequent than right out of the gate.

Enjoy Joe's writing and perspective on everything from politics to human nature and nature itself.  I think you'll enjoy reading the blog.  Share the link with your circle of friends, family, contacts, and network.

In the interim, have a joyous Christmas and may 2016 be your best year, yet!
