Does John Mainelli still check out this board or does someone have contact info for him?
I have come across a bunch of reels from around the 70's that have airchecks of him doing news and field reporting (or could possibly be audition tapes for news gigs that he put together) that he may want to have (if not, they'll eventually probably hit the trash as I'm running out of room to store old reels...) These came to my attention after digging through moving boxes of tapes that were previously in my attic before moving across country last year. They originally came from the late Jack Merker years ago (a former co-worker of John's back in San Diego in the 80's); they could have been in the boxes of Jack's stuff, or in boxes of reels that were mostly old tapes from Dick Drury (probably would be best remembered from KQV/Pittsburgh in the early 60's)...
Anyway, I'd prefer to give these back to John if he wants them. Any help in getting in contact with him?
