New Hampshire's Broadcasters' Association did put out a book about the
history of radio there, as did Maine's Association of Broadcasters; I don't
think the Mass. Association of Broadcasters ever did-- am I wrong on this??? 

Anyway, as I have said before, I would love to write a book about
Boston/Mass. radio, and that is why I am working so hard at collecting
stories while people do still remember them.  I have talked with Fred B Cole
several times, and yes he does love to talk.  Ditto for Gordon Swan.  And
Bill Buchanan (the last accurate Globe radio writer!) is a wonderful
resource too.  I found Eunice Randall's niece, and she is going to take me
to the house where Eunice broadcast way back in 1920... But are we of the
Boston Radio Interest group the only ones who care about such minutae as
what year WORL changed call letters, and whether or not WMEX's call letters
stood for anything?  (They did not, contrary to what you may have heard.)
Would the average Joe or Jane care about the history of radio in our fair
city?  Enquiring minds want to know...

Sad to report, Carl has cancer.  A get-well card might be appreciated, imho.
He still lives in Concord, I believe-- Scott Fybush knows where.
