   Boy…I will have to get the info from you. Will Email. My luck with their online archives has been dismal. I end up, anything I find, locating it through the public library microfiche.

   Found this using the on-line archives of the BH. Like all newspapers, the Bellingham Herald printed radio schedules only in the day before tv and up to the time network radio was dying out. Radio info was sketchy thereafter. An article like this was a rare treat. The Tacoma News Tribune archive, on micro-film at the Tacoma library was a pain in the *** also. The on-line archive costs bucks but is better quality.

      Jason: we also used to have the Tacoma News Tribune archives on microfilm at the old Lakewood branch of the Pierce Country Library System…

      I can remember going there often before it closed a couple years ago, and printing out pages; I also managed to save quite a few old TV listings, sports pages, ads, etc. in PDF and JPEG formats on flash drives there…. sadly, as the building was quite old, a few years ago it was closed, and then demolished.

      Lakewood still has a library, but it’s a smaller temporary library building, across the street from the Safeway at the Towne Center…

         The main library, in downtown Tacoma, has all of the old newspaper files on microfilm. That was useful years ago, but the advent of Newspapers.com brings it to your computer for a fee. I find that to be worth the cost for my needs.

   Jason…I remember reading that article when I was a senior in high school working on getting into radio. I knew all those guys a bit, mainly Little Rollie…one strange cat. Jay Hamilton knew him too I think. Where on earth did you find that? The Bellingham Herald has such crude archives.
