Before 790 AM in Louisville was WAKY, it
was WGRC. This is the front of a postcard with a photo
of the WGRC staff taken during the Big Flood in 1937. Anybody recognize
any of these folks? |

This photo was taken during a December,

Hal Smith (L) and Bill Ward at WAKY (1960)
- Hal Smith writes: "Just after this photo was taken, we were visited by
Cassius Clay, who had just returned from the Rome Olympics where he won
the gold medal. A photo was made of the occasion; I wish I knew what
happened to it." |

George Williams, November 1965. This photo
was taken aboard a flight on the Ford Tri-Motor aircraft that WAKY DJs
were afforded the opportunity to be passengers on. The classic plane was first built in 1926,
and George and Tim Tyler were the DJs that took American
Airlines up on the invitation. |
