KGB San DIego: KGB San Diego was a Drake station, the favorite of my neice who was growing up in San Diego in the 1960s/1970s. I'm sure she sampled KCBQ, the station that hired away nearly the entire KGB staff in 1971. by Jason Remington on Commemorating KCBQ San Diego, honoring the many personalities
Can it get any worse?: Tennille was vicious about Dragon, criticizing his looks and revealing his failed attempt at a hair transplant and deriding his medical condition that gave him unusually large eyeballs in her memoire. But Dragon told The ENQUIRER he never read the vicious book.
Dragon’s befuddlement at the divorce was compounded by the possibility of Tennille allegedly having a female lover. A source told The ENQUIRER there were “rumors abound around town that Toni might be gay. In fact, in all the years she’s been here, I’ve never seen her out and about with Daryl. It’s always been with a woman. Once I saw her at a Mexican restaurant, and she had her arm slung around the back of the chair of this attractive, younger blonde woman. I noticed she kept her arm in that position for most of the meal.” by Jason Remington on Standard School Broadcasts
The Captain & Tenille: While there's no definitive confirmation, Daryl Dragon was suspected by his wife, Toni Tennille, to have been on the autism spectrum. Toni's suspicion stemmed from Daryl's behavior and challenges she experienced in connecting with him. She later found out he had Parkinsonian symptoms, including tremors, which were exacerbated by anxiety and PTSD from childhood abuse. by Jason Remington on Standard School Broadcasts
Responding to Dick E’s comment: Olympic View School, huh? Dick, I live in Oregon now but probably grew up about three or four blocks from you. Please email me at wjohnfortmeyer@gmail.com so we can compare notes.

Standard School Broadcast: My sister and I went to Olympic View School in Seattle and heard the program every week, probably 1947 to 1951. No commercials, but the program's open and close gave credit to The Standard Oil Company of California.
I've never forgotten a vacation to San Francisco in our first family car, a '48 Dodge. We spotted a billboard for something called Standard School, looked at each other and shouted in unison, "Standard School Broadcast!"
Carmen Dragon was Toni Tennille's father-in-law.
