"I loved it. I think for Radio fans this is a must read book. In a descriptive and visual way, you almost feel like you are there with him through his struggles and his life lessons."
Denise A. McClure"Having lived through KFRC's glory years, I can say that Don Sainte-Johnn has written one of the most complete and accurate accounts of that era ever published."
Ron Hummel, former KFRC Production Dir."I have been reading the sample on Amazon about your growing days in Alabama. I have already fallen in love with Grandma Ella and Mama Nell…the smell of Hai Karate...can't wait to delve deeper..your long journey and completion of the book is just the beginning of a greater sense of understanding the man many of us cherish."
