"Richard Robinson Barry, I asked my father-in-law, Eddie Graham and here is the information. You are correct, all of the men pictured were air talent at The Mighty 1090. From left, A.J. Lindsey (one of the "Doc Holidays"), Bob Mullins (air name unknown, but he worked a day shift), Howard Watson ("Ken Knight," worked nights, left for a day shift on KMYO - "Cameo" in LR), Richard Wietan (Eddie isn't sure about the spelling of his last name and didn't remember his air name. This came to KAAY from Moberly, Missouri. He only worked at KAAY for six months or so. He was in the National Guard and was tragically killed a short time later in a Jeep accident, during his summer training, according to Eddie. The last jock on the right Eddie remembers, but can't recall his name. Eddie did remember that he didn't work at the station very long. That's what I have, so far."
Great history, thanks to Barry McCorkindale!

I don't believe that is Richard Wietan (I don't know the spelling either). Richard was there in 1967 and the others in that photo well preceed that. Richard worked during the time of Ray Brown in mornings, and Charlie Scarborough middays, Richard in afternoons, and Tommy Riggs at night. Richard's air name was Buddy Carr. I believe it was August of 1967 when the Jeep accident occurred at Natl Guard Summer Camp in Wisconsin.
