Not Nelskog, but another Wally at KJR (1961)

Jason Remington July 28, 2025

Little know fact: Wally Beethoven of KJR, was actually Wally Thornton. Here is a KJR survey and a KKEY promotional item below that. Bottom pic is streetview of the KKEY building.

Thanks to Bill Taylor for more cool gems.
Also pics from McMenamins FB site and eBay.

Added a September survey for KJR. Wally was working Sunday Noon-6pm and had to be on the air Monday at 9am. December survey shows him working 6-11pm on Sunday. Not much time between shifts. Lotsa coffee, lotsa coffee on Monday morning, I’m guessing.
