What
People Are Saying . . .
First, I'd like to say thanks to you for this Webbsite - It brings back so many
great memories of WLCY (the hits during the day, Marshall Cleaver at night),
Dr Paul Bearer, the Brisco brothers, Eddie Graham, WCWR (I still have the Sound
of Solid Gold - Original Hits album), Skipping school to go to Gasparilla (live
in Pinellas), and last but not least I enjoy yourself, Jack and Sharon every
weekday morning. "Webb's World" hits the nail on the head -exactly). Thanks
again, Tedd.

I only yesterday discovered your terrific "Webb" page
and enjoyed every element of it. Of particular interest to me
was "reconnecting" with so many of the people I worked with in
the Bay area in the '60s on your "Where Are They Now?" pages. Wonderful
catching updates on people like Ed Ripley, Dean Drapin, Mel Phillips,
Daylon Rushing, Stan Grams, Lolita (Dottie), among many others. Very
sad to learn, though, of so many others with whom I worked who
are gone... Jim Stanley, Herb Hunt, Mark Wheeler, Roy Nilson,
Claire Lynn, Jim Noel among them. Of course, I'm aware
of what's happened to a number of others included in "WATN",
but it was particularly poignant recalling Bobby Lyons. I
worked with him maybe for only a year at WFLA, but remember fondly
one of the nicest guys I've met in 44 years in the business.
And I remember, fondly, you as well. Just wish I'd had
the chance to get to know you better.
My best to you, --ed

Many, many thanks for your website sir. I spent 3 hours tonight
just going through the names listed, most of which I do remember
very well. When I hit upon Salty Sol and Ernie Lee, I got tears
in my eyes. The good memories of my childhood came back in a
flood. My GOD...Jack Harris, Lassiter, you, Lionel, the Q Morning
Zoo gang...thanks so much. Man...everyone is there!! Best to
you sir and your family as well. Good fortune and health...

My name is Dino Roel. My father is James "Cookie" Roel who works
with Pepito at his portrait business. I want to thank you for
an AWESOME website. I have spent nearly 5 hours on it after only
two "hits." What a rush it is to read about so many local celebs
from the past. Your website brings back a lot of memories. Two
questions...
1. Whatever happened to "The Animal"? Considering the Super Bowl
win last year, I've never heard him call CT or "The Big Dog."
2. What about a "Where Are They Now?" on the Rowdies? I was hooked
on them growing up in the late 70's, remembering the Bucs lost
every week, whereas, the Rowdies ALWAYS won. I know a few of
them still live in the bay area. In fact, I've seen Winston DuBose
at Bern's and Ivarone's. The other day I found a tape of a Cosmos-Rowdies
game at Tampa Stadium in 1979. Hard to believe... but there were
45,000 there that day.
Anyway, I thought (after looking at your website) that you would
be the one to answer my questions. Thanks again for a great website
and I hope to meet you one day.
Regards, Dino Roel
Tedd, I have been listening to the station for about 20 years.
Thanks for your "where are they now?" section. It is amazing how
many people have come and gone and how much they/you have enriched
my life. Thanks...

You've got a great "Webb"site going Tedd, that is being

Love your site. It's a great reunion site for the Tampa Bay area.

This is priceless. They were really good old days...this is a

Tedd, I just checked out the bands page. Great stuff.

Thank for bringing back some old memories. My best to you and
Jack and Sharon. I listen every morning.

What a Christmas present! I was listening to you and Sharon this
morning very early and heard you mention the "Where are
they now" part of your web page. I grew up here from 50
through 70 (In Pinellas Park) and am now a minister who just
came back here two years ago. I grew up with and on WLCY which
I miss
Peace to you and yours, Rev. Wally Reed
WHAT A GREAT JOB WITH YOUR WEB SITE!! BRO BILL AND I GOT A REAL
KICK OUT OF LOOKING INTO THE PAST!!... EVEN BILLY JAY!!
Robert Jacobs
I've finally found the "Where are They Now" link and
I was totally stunned by the wealth of information you've put
together. I'd been trying to think of Ed Ripley's last name for
quite a number of years, and there he is right there in the "E's." What
an amazing accumulation of "who's who."
Russ Offenbach
Thanks guy, this is an awesome site... Thanks for sharing your
many years of Tampa radio history with us.... I go back to your "Johnny
Angel" days....
Paul
Having lived in the Tampa Bay area for more than 30 years, it
was certainly a trip down memory lane to browse through the "Where
are they now?" section.
Mike Fisher
Best site I've seen. In the old Lassiter days with Sharon she
mentioned somebody named "Bodyguard" he still with
her?
Mike
Love the site! Like the touch of humor! One day soon I shall
visit USA and tune in!
Debi Morgan -- South Africa
It is an honor to be amongst some of the cream of the crop of
broadcasters, entertainers and personalities on your outstanding
website...thanks for the opportunity to catch up on so many talents
that I have worked with and so many I have admired.

THE SITE LOOKS INCREDIBLE...
Scott Shannon, NYC
What great memories from the Q-zoo dazes!! What a picture of
the QZoo Crew. Love the WEBB-SITE. Keep up the great work.
Ron Whitney- Seminole
Love your web site! Couldn't believe I was on it for over an
hour and still hadn't seen everything. What a trip down memory
lane it has been for me. Keep up the great work. I'll be back.
Tony D, Pinellas Park
Great site Tedd! I loved the stroll down memory lane. It reminded
me of the years of riding to school laughing my butt off at
the Q-Zoo.
