    Looking forward to hearing the hydro broadcast. I like the wording that part of Lake Washington belongs to Bellevue. I guess that is one of the ways KFKF served their city of license. I remember when Jon Gold debuted on KAYE. Nicholls called that day their red letter day. I could write a whole book about that station. I never did see this article. Does anyone have a picture of the KVI kow?

      Ed,
      Looking forward to your book about KAYE, or at least your recollections in future comments here. Thanks!

    I have, from Sam Lawson, a nearly hour long hydro broadcast by O’Day and crew. Along with an interview where Pat tells his hydro stories. I just have not had a chance to put it all together so far…it is in draft form.
