One of the fun things I get to do as webmaster is receive unexpected
email from the site's readers. Sometimes it is just a simple thank you
which is great but other times I discover a gem attached. Such was the case
with an email I received today from Allan Winters who was Program Director
for Second Division's AFKN Radio Tomahawk. The gem in this case was the Tomahawk Top Thirty from December 13-19 1968. OK, we all probably remember the songs that were on the charts at the end
of 1968 but what struck me most was looking at them in order along with their
ratings from the previous week. And yes, there is the special touch of the
manual typewriter font that conjured up memories of my days as company clerk
at AFKN. It was far from a perfect world in the age of the typewriter. Many
a day I would crumple up my mistakes and fill a wastebasket before I got the
requisite correspondence ready for signature by the "old man." Those were the
days and awe Gawd there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then.
Whew... 35 years ago! Thanks for sharing a bit of your memorabilia Al. I must say that as I read down
the list of those old songs I did a lot of reading between the lines as those
dormant brain cells were activated. Thanks
so much for the memories and,
KEEP UP THE FIRE!
