late 1970′s

From: Judy Kessler

Hi Charlie,

I was a big fan of yours in the 60′s & 70′s until 1980 when we moved to Colorado. You used to wake me up in the A.M. in time for work. I loved the sound of your voice and your sweet personality.

This was very important to me because I am not a morning person.

A fond memory was when your wife had a baby, Bryan Joseph??, in 1978-80. I remember you got him a Teddy Bear simulating the sounds in the womb. I thought that was the sweetest thing.

Funny, the little endearing things that we remember.

I am now living in Phoenix

Warm regards from:

Judy Kessler,

re: aliens

From: Jim Ross

I never thought that i’d be e mailing you two weeks in a row. Your latest program touched on aliens; a lot of people seem to be laughing at Stephen Hawking.

In 1980, i was an A T Controller in Ottawa, Ont. Because of my divorce, i was strapped for cash. The next point is extremely important. For 4 years i was straight and sober…no booze/drugs. My only hobby was developing my mind and i became very good at this (unfortunately). I used to go on lunch breaks to an outdoor walkway, and try to listen to what people were thinking.

One day, i saw a very ugly, oddly dressed old man on a bench. No one saw him or noticed him except me. I looked at him and said mentally ” who are you? what are you?”. Slowly, he looked at me and changed shape. It was alien, malignant and it knew that i knew. It shot me an appalling blast of hate/rage and i took off running, until i dropped, 10 mins later.

Many years later i told my boys. They believed me because of other things that i have done. Can i prove all this? No, but i haunt libraries. In the library in Lawrencetown, N S there is a slim book on identifying aliens. Let’s all go tee-hee now. In this book is an excellent drawing of the alien i saw. I almost puked when i saw it. The brief caption says…these are bad, avoid contact. they mean harm.

So, there you go. I don’t expect you to believe me, but S Hawking is right.I don’t know what they want, but it’s probably not good.

Charlie, you have the ability to reach probably millions of people each week. They believe you and rely on you. Perhaps a slight word of warning is in order…be aware, be wise, be aloof. Stay safe, Charlie. ( btw, pass this along if you feel fit, Or hit delete, your choice).

Best regards,

Jim Ross.

A beautiful tribute to cancer victims

From: Dave Daniels

Hi Charlie,

I know everyone sends a million messages a day but you have to see this video.

I lost my aunt to cancer and this video brought me to tears and made me remember that she is gone but not forgotten.

Sincerely,

Dave Daniels

PS. Cancer is the #1 Killer in the US, we really should be doing more.

Hi from a fan in Utah

From: Marc S. Ross

Hello Charlie,
 
It’s Marc Ross of Cedar City, Utah (I love it up here!), formerly of the LA area.   I sent you an e-mail about 4 months ago.  Sorry if it was a bit long-winded.   Anyway, here’s hoping you’re doing well.  I simply want to thank you for all your wonderful work on the air in LA radio, incl. on 93/KHJ, still my all-time favorite radio station, bar none.   Keep up the good work and may God bless you big-time.   As a former radio announcer (mainly in smaller markets like King City, CA and Truth or Consequences, NM, back in the 1980′s), I look up to you as one of my main broadcasting idols, no doubt.   You don’t have to write back–I figure you’re extremely busy and get tons of e-mails, but again thank you for everything–you are a class act.   Take care and again, God bless!
 
 
Sincerely,
Marc S. Ross
Cedar City, UT

Positive comments concerning your 70′s show!

Dear Sir,
 
I have listened to your show on Saturday and Sunday mornings for some time now in Brunswick, Georgia.  I listen to the show on 98.3 “the Oldies” Station coming from Savannah, GA.  Actually I am a huge Motown and 70′s follower and have been so for years.  I have a few positive comments to make concerning your syndicated show.
 
1.  You have an outstanding show each week.  I enjoy hearing the interviews intermixed with the music of the time frame you are highlighting at the time.
 
2.  I have a suggestion for you to consider; have you ever considered coming to the Brunswick, GA area or better yet, say to a music festival or event here in this local area?  For instance, I know the town of Brunswick, Georgia has the Brunswick Stew Festival which happens during the late summer to fall of the year.  In previous years they have hired an outside, major named band to perform on Saturday night and then followed by fireworks to view.  I have been looking for this year’s headliner, but I haven’t seen it advertised just yet.  Also, another time frame each year is the end of the summer concert.  That normally takes place on Labor Day weekend or there about, and in the past such groups as the Beach Boys and many others have been the bands on the stage for the event.  That takes place on Jekyll Island, GA which is right here along the coast of this area.  I am not a professional radio personality nor do I own a business/radio station here, but I do know talent when I hear of it.
 
3.  Maybe you have been to Jacksonville, FL which is one hour south of Brunswick, GA off I-95, or maybe to Savannah, GA which is one hour north of Brunswick on off I-95 as well.  We are moderate in weather temps throughout the year, and the summers are hot and humid, but that makes for nice beach weather for sure.
 
4.  We have seafood, beaches, historical interests from many different time frames of American history.  We have southern BBQ that is the best of the best!  I know as I love to eat it and try different recipes.  It is a safe environment to bring your family and there are many choices of hotels to stay at and enjoy.  We have many restaurants to choose from as well.  Transportation is very easy with driving here by vehicle with I-95 and major roadways present.  Then there is a local airport here which is a branch from Hartsfield Atlanta, GA.  Delta is the airline that flies in there and it is nice to just walk off the plane and go directly to your vehicle.  On the other hand, there is an international airport about 1 hour south off I-95 in Jacksonville, FL not  a problem there either. 
 
5.  No, I am not a tour guide, and I don’t even play one on weekends at the  Holiday Inn!  I just am thinking out loud and I wanted to contact you and express my thoughts.  In any event, maybe you might consider all this and I don’t know about the “radio business” but maybe I am doing this incorrectly,  as I need to talk to your “agent” or whatever.  I just contact and speak to the person directly or by email as it were.
 
Thank you for reading this email and replying if you have the time.

Cat Video

From: Maggie Moreno

Dear Charlie,

That Cat video was truly sad, Maybe That’s a different definition coming from a 10 year old, but It touched my heart, and it will touch the hearts of anyone else that watches it. Right after I watched it, I looked for my kitten, and gave her a huge kiss, which got me fur in my mouth, and made me sneeze like Butt! Anyways, it made me want another cat, and seeing how He just lied there, waiting for her to wake up… and how he was pressing at her. I could just see him trying to say “Wake Up! Wake up! I need you!” All I’m saying that if someone easily gets sad, Not a good idea to watch this… It’s a heart warming video, mostly because I love cats…

Peace and love, Peace And Love, (Like Ringo Starr)
