In 1972, Bob Sands and I worked for Jay at KAFG.
Our job was doing news and weather and babysitting the automation, and one weekend I worked from 6 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday.
Well, I was dead tired about 3 in the morning and fell asleep on the sofa near the entrance to the studios. KAFG was located in downtown Oklahoma City across the street from the old YMCA.
I was probably snoring when Jay walked in just before 6 a.m. I thought I would probably be fired. Jay never said a word other than "Good morning." He acted like nothing unusual had happened.
That is Jay in a nutshell.
A few weeks ago, I went to KOMA to see Ronnie Kaye and Fred Hendrickson. Ronnie had left, but Jay gave me a complete tour of the building that was formerly WKY's alone. He spent more than an hour showing me the equipment.
You'll never meet a finer man than Jay Perkey.
Oh, and Jay knew that I was the one who spilled a Coke down the front of WKY's new slide pot board in 1974.
Apparently everyone in Oklahoma City knew.
I thought I had covered my tracks and NO ONE knew.
And now you know ... the REST OF THE STORY
