I must apologize for not getting this on sooner..."life" has its way of getting priorities reshuffled. Nonetheless, when I was in Little Rock in April of 2011 (see the series in the Summer and Fall 2011 postings), Jerry Sims, David B. Treadway and I visited Felix and his wife, just yards from the transmitter. David B. had to get his son back to town and left before I thought to take this video. It is a very short video, because I wasn't watching my battery level...
...however, Jerry Sims was discussing how he know some of the McDonald family and his business associations with them through radio & TV. It was a very enjoyable hour or so...I wish I could have gotten some other, candid conversation, especially when they were talking KAAY history. Makes me all the more thoughtful to keep a pocketful of spare batteries!
Here is the link, for your viewing pleasure:

As you can see, it was a very nice, relaxed atmosphere in their spacious sun room...but the acoustics were not too good. You may have to turn up the volume a bit to hear what Jerry's talking about.
My thanks to the McDonalds for their hospitality! And my thanks to the late, Great Jerry Sims for driving me around that day....
