It has been awhile, but the last time I knew,

Stan Potopa- Running his own karaoke/DJ show.
Bob Abernethy- Selling advertising for Forever in Huntington
Lou Maierhofer-Renting tower space for cellular/two way systems.

And as far as Chuck Bloom, I have not heard anything about him since back in the 80's when he was a DJ for WVAM.
 
Let's add to the list of where are they now.

Greg Banks (Steve Austin)
John Potts (John Blair)
Darryl Hollingshead (Darryl Ray)
Tom Lewis -Last time I knew he was a DJ for the Tin Cup strip club.
Tony Booth
 
I understand that John Blair is the prime suspect in the still unsolved "Phantom Sh*tter" case from the early '90s at WVAM/WPRR.
 
Where's the Doctor Tom Stevens?
Where's Artie Dee?
Where's Roy Goshorn?

There's talent!
 
Wow, that is talent. I wouldn't figure you could put those four names into ONE e-mail and make it fit without jamming all the circuits on the computer. They don't make radio people like those guys anymore. You don't hear radio folks like those guys anymore. What do you say that we throw Jerry Gamber into this mix!

I'm glad Mah-lark-kee ain't dead. I've got some wiring that needs to be done in my fry wagon for the spring/summer season. I know he still had some old equipment back at WFBG that needed fixing also. Where in the hell has he been, hiding in the old bomb shelter?

How about Mark Thomas?
 
Barry Drake is the owner of BackYard Broadcasting with stations in Williamsport, Olean NY, Mississippi, others. If that is the same Barry Drake.
 
Same Barry Drake. AE in State College to owner of BackYard.

Help me, Mark Thomas? When was he there, on which station and what was his position. Mark, if we were best buds, blame "the buds" for my loss of memory.
 
I remember the days I attended St John's Catholic Church in Lakemont.
That Terry Malarkey, MacAlarney or whatever, was the leader of the folk
choir, and man he could play some sweet licks on the guitar. Is Mac still
hittin the gospel pearls? I always thought the Oriental Ballroom in Gallitzin
would of had a winner of a concert with Joe Flaro, T Mac and Jack Servello.
