All other Stations/ Jobs after KFXM/KDUO:

After living down at the beach for a couple years (1980-83), and working in the aerospace industry, I moved back to the Inland Empire to accept a flying job with a charter outfit.  I then was hired as a B-747 Captain flying air cargo overseas. The company went into Chapter 11 and I was furloughed. I then got the itch to go back into radio, as the flying was not steady work.  I found a steady job at KPRO Riverside until the station got sold.  Haven't gone back into radio since.  Maybe I should try again...who knows?

Travel, flying, boating, railroading, restoring classic cars. Since being forced to retire from the airline industry as a result of Chapter 11, I still enjoy flying for pleasure.  It's what I would call mid-life therapy.
