  1. 1977, the time of racquet ball, 6001, corvettes and uncertain futures.  Everyone was looking for something else (it was an unforgettable run)  and all went in separate directions.  I hope everyone’s wish’s were realized!

  2. According to the KING nostalgia website Sam is a real estate attorney in California. According to the Portland Radio Guide he did nights in Porland prior to working at KING.

    1. Prior to KING-AM in Seattle, Dan worked for King Broadcasting’s Portland Oregon station complex, AM 620, KGW in the evening time slot. Prior to KGW, he had a brief stint at KPAM, then also in Portland.
