Not Nelskog, but another Wally at KJR (1961)

   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.

  1. Shift change

    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.

    What a schedule! (KKEY) Wally earned his paycheck.
