enjoying the new Jerry Williams book

OK now the authors are flat out wrong. They write that Larry King
replced Herp Jepko on Mutual in 1978. King replaced Long John Nebel.

They also make a big deal about Mac Richmond dying in November of 1971
at the same time Jerry's father died. Mac died in October and I have a
strong memory of that night. I was board op with Phil Durkin (JJ
Jordan) that Friday morning when word of Mac's death hit. Phil
completely broke format and he and Fred Lowrey who was the MEX news
director had a tribute to the death of Mac where Fred said on RKO that
we plan a tribute by employees for Mac and that should take 10
seconds.

Phil didn't care as he had been told earlier that day his contract was
not being renewed.

I know it was October as later that morning my Mom had a stroke and
she died 10 days later on November 5th
