Mostly for KAAY Insiders

KAAY sponsored a race horse at Oaklawn park in Hot Springs, but that's not the story. The story here are the people in the picture. I do not have the date of this picture, because Ray Brown and his wife are in the picture, it is probably 1967.

From left to right with some explainations: Freddy Walloch and his wife, (we all did some of those two voice shouting commercials IF IT'S NOT FROM WALLOCH'S YOU PAID TOO MUCH!) Carolyn Graham, wife of Eddie Graham (Eddie was one of the original KTHS employees who stayed. He was a studio engineer, became production chief, and finally salesman. More on Eddie later.) Pat Walsh came to KAAY at the beginning as a salesman and became General Manager. Much about Pat in previous posts) Ray Brown A/K/A Doc Holiday. Ray became Doc Holiday when I went into sales. That would make him Doc Holiday III. Ray later went into Sales then became Sales Manager at KARK-TV and then owner of Bartercard. Ray has passed on and I certainly want to write more on Ray, who is fondly remembered by all of the Little Rock advertising community.) Bobbie Walsh, Pat's wife and Dot Brown, Ray's wife.
