Received from "Bobby Mitchell" on December 5, 2008:
I was a proud member of that staff from Feb '67 to May '68.
I arrived in a raging snowstorm and went on the air three
hours later, 6 - 9PM. Ruby Tuesday was #1, and
Penny Lane b/w Strawberry Fields Forever had been
released the day before. I did 6 to 9 for about three weeks,
then that became 7 to mid for about three months. Then I got
moved into afternoon drive.
I got hired to WRKO the day Martin Luther King, Jr. was
assassinated and my third week on the air at WRKO, Bobby
Kennedy was assassinated. Great way to remember my
beginnings.
Story: Bob DeCarlo hired Don Berns (a student at Brown) to
do weekends. He wrote it on the blackboard so badly that
everyone was plugging Don Beans. They called him "Beans"
until he left.
