I was employed in the Detroit
Public School System as an (ESRP) Emergency Substitute in a Regular Position,
teaching elementary music education & reading classes at Fairbanks
Elementary School near Westside, Detroit for the program year 1968-1969.
Bobby moved his family from
Detroit to Flint, Michigan to work as a DJ on WAMM- AM radio station in Flint. It
was there that Bobby met Earle and agreed to come aboard, Sometime between November-December 1968. I’m not sure the exact time. Anyway, I received a phone call from Bobby,
who was in Detroit on business with Earl.
They would be stopping by to share this great idea that Earle had about
owning a radio station in Saginaw, Michigan. Bobby and Earle arrived a short time later.
From the moment of meeting Earle,
anyone would get the feeling that this guy was near genius. After a brief meeting, I agreed to go to
Saginaw with Earle the following weekend.
We picked up Bobby in Flint and then traveled on to Saginaw (my first
visit ) for a tour of the farmland where the tower would be located and also downtown
Saginaw. This was the day that I first saw the building that would house Earle’s
FM radio station .
The preliminary work had been
completed. We were ready to move forward
with Earle’s dream.
