And today is!

By Norm Seeley | August 2, 2008

Today is my birthday!

The BIG 65!

But what was it like more than 40 years ago?

Now take a look at August the 2nd live in the KOOL Studio, with me leading Happy Birthday with Johnny Johnson holding a mike that you can’t see, so the singers can be heard on the air. I wish I had a tape.

The picture survived a flood in one of my houses, that’s why it looks like it does. Sadly Johnny passed away many years ago. He was a good broadcaster and we grew to be good friends.

Below is a letter written to KOOL about John and I.

We had the only private vehicle in the state of Arizona that was equipped with a two-way radio to the Highway Patrol.

Both John and I were active members of the Highway Patrol Reserve which allowed us to talk directly to Phoenix Dispatch and other Highway Patrol officers while we were out reporting traffic.

When I moved to being on the air in the afternoon, after that letter was written, my traffic reporting days came to an end.

Miss em!
