Bobbie Walsh, Wife Of Pat Walsh, Passes On To Radio Heaven

Thanks to Richard Robinson, on Facebook...the entire message here:

 

"For those KAAY fans who knew or knew of J. Pat Walsh, who was a manager of KAAY and a broadcast media consultant for many years in Little Rock, I have some sad news to report. His widow, Bobbie Walsh, died on August 18, 2020. Her graveside service was held on Saturday. Bobbie loved the Arkansas Razorbacks, Pat Walsh and her family. When Pat was managing KAAY, Bobbie used to sit at home, listening to the competing stations and taking down the names of all of their advertisers for use by the sales staff at KAAY. I'm posting the link to her online obituary for your information. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Walsh when I interviewed Pat in their home and later Bobbie after Pat's death. It was a pleasure to know her and I am sorry to hear of her passing."

James Wells, KTHS/KAAY Engineer

Thanks to Tony Meyer, here is a picture of James Wells, d on Facebook, who was the engineer of KTHS and KAAY from 1954 to 1965.  Just reading the comments, he is one of the few remaining engineers alive form the KTHS/KAAY era.

Thanks again, Barry!

KAAY Lawnmower Promotion?

Barry McCorkindale posted this picture on Facebook regarding a lawnmower race, obviously tied to a previous photo and post here and on Facebook. How does one win a lawnmower race? Perhaps the cleanest cut in the lowest elapsed time, it looks like!

Thanks, Barry!
