Beam me up Scotty!
Here is an interview i did with Jimmy Doohan in October 1994. There is a good post on my personal blog to go along with this audio at http://blog.tomanthony.com/2009/07/beam-me-up-scotty/

With a call – actually an email - from the distant past a few years ago, I found myself trying to piece together events from 30 years back to recall some of the radio stations I’ve worked at. Jim Maloy, a long time radio person from Central Florida (http://www.radioyears.com) looked me up on the
internet and asked me to fill in some of the blanks from my days on the radio in Polk County Florida.
I was flattered that anyone even knew my name in relation to my old days in broadcasting, so I approached this Bio very seriously. It was a challenge to retrace my steps – but rewarding to take one more look at those golden days of my radio career. As I searched through old boxes I found some audio from a quarter century ago and decided to post it here. I found this old photo too. It's me and my long time partner Jay Kuppers at WQPD around 1981.
