Jack Teiken

Saw this on the Cincy board:Jack Teiken, aka Bob White passed away last night at VA Hospital in Indianapolis. Bob was one of the WSAI good guys from 1965-68. Bob suffered a stroke after the passing of his wife on Nov. 2000 and has been in ill health since. Bob spent the last days of his life in Brazil, Indiana.I never met Jack, but wasnt he involved in a Terre Haute station in the early 90's? GM or owner? I cant quite recall.....
 
Jack was also Bob White for WBOW in the late 60's and ended up in Brazil at WWCM radio sometime in the early 70's. Jack resurfaced again and purchased the Brazil station which was WSDM from Mark Lang sometime in 1987 and ran the station. Jack hired me and gave me my first radio job. He sure had a lot of stories to tell, introducing the Beatles in Cincinnati and the Stones as well. He also was part of the WBOW reunion show that aired in 2003. He gave me a WSAI air-check from Labor Day weekend 1966, or 67. Great Stuff! Visitation is Sun. 4-8 Moore F.H. Brazil.
 
I am so happy to see Mr. Teiken mentioned here. I started out as a part-time board operator for WSDM while in high school. About six months later, Mr. Teiken came in and took us off of satellite and made us traditional Country Music. It was a dream come true for me. We would play the new traditional Country, the Classic Country and the new independent artists..some of which were pretty good. Of course, I thought I knew everything at that point, and Jack put up with me. Also, Mr. Teiken knew that I knew the format, so we had a good relationship. I remember him insisting that we talk between every song. I also remember him saying we should never play two females back to back. I still think of that everytime I do. I saw him a few months back in Brazil. It was really nice. Also, I went to school with his daughters. They are wonderful people. I'll never forget Mr. Teiken. Now that I think about it, somewhere, I've still got a letter of recommendation he wrote for me. Another thought comes to mind. Jack's last day at WSDM was also my last day. I had a full-time job elsewhere, and decided that I didn't need to play along with the changes Mike Peterson had in store.
