From Guin Reeves RE: George Jennings

I cannot believe my mentor, friend and "radio daddy" (along with Sonny Martin)is mortal, after all. I was a scared young female broadcaster just finishing broadcast school when George hired me at the old KXXA (which became KSSN FM 96) in 1977. George was a character, and one of the finest people I ever knew. George developed my on-air voice, and I would never have had the wonderful career I had without his help. I would love to hear from Nancy and some of the old crew, Sonny Martin, Ken Moyer and others...contact me at guindareeves@yahoo.com and leave a phone number or address. I feel like a piece of my heart has been ripped off. My memory of George includes his standard gear for his shift: a big cigar and a huge mega-cup of Dr. Pepper (I think it was Diet Dr. Pepper).
