Hi Liz,
This Tammy, The one who was your daughter in law when I was married to Russell Schirmer. I have thought about you over the years and googled your name and found you. It looks like you doing well. I’m living in Texas and have been here since 1983. I would love to hear from you. Jeremy will be 42 in November and Chelsea will be 41 in March. I guess you know that Shane passed away a few years ago. Well I just wanted to see what you have been up to. Take care of yourself.
Hello Liz, My name is Frank Peck, and I was a staff photographer/reporter at your father’s newspaper, The Evening Telegram, for several years, during the mid-to-late 1960s. I worked directly under William ‘Bill’ Goligoski, the managing editor, at the time. I’m seventy-five now, and have recently, along with my wife, relocated to northern Kentucky. Are you by chance aware of any radio stations, that are for sale, in our area? I’d like to find one attached to a residence, where we can live, and operate the station, at the same location. Are you aware of such a thing? The Very Best of a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, to You, and All of Your Family.
Thank You
Sincerely,
Frank Peck
