I've yet to find a thread about Bob Doll's passing which surprises me. If somebody knows where the Bob Doll tribute thread is on Radio-Info, please let me know. Nonetheless, given that Bob lived in Seguin, TX, I figured the Texas board would be a logical place to write something. I'm saddened about Bob Doll's passing. In 2006, my radio mentor loaned me a copy of his book "A Perfect Union" which was about the history of WBCU in Union, South Carolina. I was living in Tennessee at the time. That book sat on my dresser for about three months before I started to read it. I really liked the book, especially the parts about Art Sutton, who was the owner at the time the book was written (1994 I think). Even though I had never met Art before, I was impressed with his style of radio. That book further reinforced in my mind that the world of small market radio was where I should return. So I contacted Art about a job. I now manage Art's newest station in Northeast Georgia. I also had the privilege of meeting Bob on two different occassions and spoke with him on the phone several times. I really enjoyed getting to know him. I loved his old radio stories and was appreciative of his contributions in helping me and Art build that radio station from the ground up.
Thanks for everything Bob. . .the champion of small market radio.
