Please notify me when the videotapes are
available. The Tennessee branch of the Holstead Family would like
several copies. We talked to Josh twice during the party, twice
immediately after and once this morning. We were pleased to hear that he
had a wonderful time last night. Your party was a great success and if
you decide to have another, perhaps the rest of us will be able to
attend. Tiffany Holstead Karkhoff

I hope you guys have a great time... Sorry I can't be
there... Jeff Davis

Sorry I could not be here for the
first KFJZ Radio Reunion circa 2001. Sure hope I can join you next
year. My wife Bobbi was born in Galveston making her a
full-fledged Texan. I got my start in the thriving metropolis of
Atlanta, Texas, population 3000 (including the cattle) where my daughter Cher
was born. From there, I landed a plumb job in Tyler and stayed
there long enough for our son Bob to claim a Texas birth. In 1956
I became a KLIFDWELLER, moved on to WKBW, WLS, etc . I returned to
Dallas in the '80s to be operations manager for KLUV in Dallas and KBUC
in San Antonio, finally settling in as manager of KBUC. So, I
guess that should earn me the right to at least "one seat" at
this gathering. Art Roberts
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please
accept my regrets at not being able to attend........I must attend to
some urgent family matters...... Please
send my regards to those who don't still hate me. And please, tell
all the jocks who where on the air during my fifteen minutes of Program
Director-hood, that I'M SORRY FOR TAKING THE HOP PLUGS OFF
THE AIR!!!!! I KNOW YOU DUG THE BREAD.......BUT THEY REALLY
DID SUCK! And tell Biff Burns he is a radio legend!
Warm, Personal BEAU-regards, Beau
Weaver
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE'LL ALL LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU TOMORROW NIGHT.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH GEORGE MARTI... THIS WILL BE A
REALLY FUN TIME! JOHN
FLETCHER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sad to report that we will not be able to make it to
the reunion. I had hoped to see some of my old friends and idols from
DFW radio. As you know I now do an internet webcast from my website on Saturday
nights, and with two new sponsors for the year, I can't miss doing
it. Come by the website and check us out, we're at: http://www.70ps.com
I would also like for you to tell everyone how much I will miss seeing
them but we gotta make a livin'.....slap hubba on the back for me!

Great idea! Lots of familiar names and memories on your
roster! Dave Armstrong is in LA at the Salem talk FM, I'm at Westwood
One in Valencia. We worked for VanSickle in sales during the 70s and
80s. Dick Heatherton is at KRLA. Where's John RW Whalen? Martha
Martinez? Rich Bryan is with Jones Satellite in Denver. I hope you have
a moment for those who passed on...Tom Page, Rick Marcellan, etc. Can't
make it. Best wishes! John

alive. My check is enclosed. Alex

My name is Paul Camfield and I am Bill
Camfield's son I live down here in Fredericksburg and have just
been sent information about the reunion by a colleague of my father's- I
would love to be there but that afternoon is my daughter's bday- I do
however have a very strong interest in this reunion- I tried a few years
ago to stir up interest in a retrospective symposium on media culture in
DFW in the 50's and 60's but could get no university or institution
interested- this event will be great- even though I am only the son of
one of your group- I do have a large collection of material from my
fathers career here home - if you guys would be interested in copies of
images or a tape of old footage I have - let me know call me
anytime w 830-997-2835 h " 990-8202 thanks Paul

Larry, I remember you taking me backstage at the TCCC to
meet the Osmonds 30 years ago ... I finally found my calling ... at KZEE
and KYXS ... That's when I got into news which is what I still do.
I'm also a traffic reporter on KRLD ... and at Metro. I'm looking
forward to seeing you and meeting Marky Baby and others I listened to as
a kid. It'll also be great to see some folks I've worked with but
haven't seen in several years. Kym

As it works out, I was
planning to be in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area on the 26, 27 and 28.
Sounds like a lotta fun. I'll be there. Dan

Here is a note for those interested in
taped KFJZ memories I just
recalled that when I retired from radio I gave a big box of tapes
to the library at UT Arlington. I have no idea what they
were or what they did with them. If anyone cares enough to check
it out , there might be some fascinating memories in all of that.
On the other hand, maybe UTA threw them away. David
L. Day

I just located Peter McLane and spread the Reunion word.
He's up at KGGO in Des Moines. Art

I'm having an operation and will have my arm in a sling. So, I
won't be able to shake many hands. But, I'll be there!
Looking forward to it. Larry Morrell
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Originally I told you I wouldn't be able to attend the reunion, but I
have a day off coming and have asked for the 27th off so I could be
there. Enclosed is a check for $40 for 2 tickets. I'll be
looking forward to seeing you and all the other people I haven't seen in
some years ... Randy Coffey
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey! You guys think you can put on a
bash at Joe T's and not expect the Star Reporter of the 70's?? I will be
there to recount how I made money from KFJZ with the 1st issue of MAD
magazine (which I still have!) and I will be wearing Joe Holstead's hat!
Best to all! Jim Marrs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contrary to rumors, I am not missing. I am alive and well, and living in
sub-tropical South Texas. It pleases me to see that a gathering of us hoary (whorey?) old-timers from JZ and TSN is being planned.
Yes, of course I will be there.
Ed Miller
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Ben Laurie for putting me on to
the reunion -- of course, I wouldn't miss seeing that wonderful list of
folks that I used to work with at JZ and elsewhere! Jay
Ward
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Count on me being with you, Ken and all the gang at Joe
T's on the 27th. It will be great fun to visit with dear friends I
worked and competed with one more time. All are special to me for
being a part of my life in that wonderful thing we enjoy so much called
broadcasting. Rusty
Reynolds

Jonathan Hayes is patched up after the motorcycle
accident and says, "Jeanie is buying us 2 tix online TODAY------ so
we'll be there ... as of today I won't need the
ramp, thanks. I may even have my 2 front teeth by then!!!! Didn't
get 'em for Christmas." Jonathan
Hayes

Just heard about the party this
morning from someone at Metro Traffic Control. Having worked at KLIF in
1961 and 1966, KBOX in 1965, KXOL in two separate hitches for Earl
Fletcher, and KIXL and WFAA when they were alive, I feel that I must
join the group of folks that I've known over the years. Put me on the
list! Looking forward to it! Still active, by the way, doing traffic
reports for K-LUV and KRLD. Ben
Laurie Metro/Shadow Networks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KRLD/KVIL/KLIF/KJZY/KCUL
...One
of these stations should qualify me to get in the Joe T's
door. Plan on seeing you on the 27th. Great idea! Happy New
Year. Looking forward to seeing one and all! Cordially, Hugh
Lampman

My name is Sid Burns and I worked as an engineer at KFJZ
/ KFJZ-TV / KTVT-TV from 1956 to 1993. I was the Engineer for Porter
Randall's 7am TSN newscast for a couple of years. I'm sure I can find a
few KFJZ items for the reunion. I called Paul Kittenbacker and
told him about the reunion. See you guys at the Reunion... Sid
and Peggy Burns
