You hired me and let me host my own show called TRIBUTE: The Sound of Contemporary Christian Music. You asked Rosemarie L Thomas (Midday, WRUN to train me. She was an awesome deejee!! I remember going to the WRUN baseball games that summer.

For those who didn't know Gary, here's a story from Jerry Reed. "Few people know that when WUFM went on the air, no one was making a stereo control board. Gary took a mono Gates Yard and converted it to stereo for use on the air, as WUFM was one of the very early FM stations broadcasting in Multiplex stereo from The Hotel Utica. The abandoned tower is still on top of the Hotel Utica.. WRUN experimented broadcasting stereo, but it was one channel on AM and the other channel on WRUN FM. So you had to have two radios to recieve it. " Thanks for sharing Jerry.
