WECQ QUESTIONS

What has become of Dave Waples?

When he was at WEBR in Buffalo, we put on a live broadcast performance of the original script of The Lone Ranger for radio. Waples played one of the bad guys.

I remember him as a good guy and have not heard of him since.
 
Not sure this is the right " Wapes" but he worked for an Energy company near Erie in Communication. He and Kim had cheildren and then they got divorced

Book Description
The large scale, practical uses of natural gas were initially introduced by innovators Joseph Pew and George Westinghouse for the steel and glass industries in Pittsburgh, and local gas companies evolved from individual wells to an interstate supply network acquired by Rockefeller’s Standard Oil interests. Natural gas is now a prevalent part of American markets and is filling the critical void left by a lack of new coal, oil, and nuclear power facilities. This vital American enterprise began in the Appalachian states as an accidental and underestimated by-product of the oil rush of 1859.

This book explores the evolution and significance of the natural gas industry. Early chapters discuss the first natural gas discoveries in the 1800s, the ways in which entrepreneurs used the fuel, the consequent displacement of the manufactured gas industry, and the expansion of the Appalachian natural gas network—largely initiated by Standard Oil interests—into major regional markets. Later chapters discuss the growth of the Appalachian drilling industry, the first wooden and metal pipelines, the development of gas compressor engines, the pioneering of gas storage fields, and the genesis of gas marketing for lighting, heating, cooking, and industrial use. The concluding chapter describes the growth of the Appalachian natural gas industry since its major source of supply shifted from local wells in the 1950s to new discoveries of natural gas in the southwestern United States and the Gulf of Mexico. The conclusion also describes the impact of gas shortages and the government regulation that affects the industry to the present day.

Evan Coleman worked for me at WFAL in Falmouth on Calpe Cod.

Anyone know what happened to Evan Coleman(aka Big John Evans, Nick Evans, Nick at Nite)?
 
I've been at Entercom Roch for several years now--Nick was there at one point on KLX (I started at the Bee in '95 when it was still owned by Heritage) left & came back for a short time to sell, but hasn't been there for years. I thought he was selling some kind of homes west of Rochester, but that was a few years ago.
 
Mr Dangerous worked for a time here at WNYR in sales. I know he lives in Canandaigua and is in a band called DILF. I've sent him a heads-up to look in.
 
Yeah, CQ was a good time! I came with previous experience (evenings WAMX Huntington, WVA, PD/afternoons KLO Ogden, UT etc.) to replace Louie for a few years. Hey RCB, did you foget you're 2nd favorite "Disc Jockey in the whole wide world?" Did a coulpe stints after CQ, then accidentically fell into sales and thot it was cool to provide for my family and buy anything I wanted. Fast foward, started the band DILF w/local singer Mark Legott(family owns Club 86 that brought all the jazz greats of the 40's and 50's to G-town). At FL shows still get introduced as "the Dangerous One". Stay wih me here, when we play in Roch. Jimmy the Disco Raker of Fronrtier Field fame joins us for a few songs. One nite he starts calling me Dangerous Dan, turns out he was GM of the Geneva Cubs about that time. He hired GABE to his first baseball gig and was hangin' with Gabe the day before. Recently started my own pro sound business and Mark and I are in the developing stages of what we hope will be a multi market "live local" type show with a completely different twist. Great to reconnect!

How about an ooey-gooey cheesy pizza meal for 2?
Good time were had by all! Hey DD--I'll have to try to catch you some weekend night when you play in Ra-cha-cha! Looks like fun
 
Dan,

Good to hear from you. One of my fondest memories of you was coming through the door every night to do your shift with the white powder of a Donut from Dunkin Donuts on you face.
 
DD....how could I forget my second favorite DJ in the whole world? In addition to the nightly big 64 oz big gulp and donuts, how about those dog eared copies of O liners you carried? What a stack of stuff you hauled in their every night.

I can still picture you, eyes closed, slamming that next record on CQ 102. Never knew you made the switch over to the dark side (sales ) Ha.

Great to get the update on what you've been up to. Well...gotta get back to work...hold on the Waterloo line is ringing.
 
You're getting me emotional Dave. RCB, always enjoyed our chats bridging the day parts.
"Listen for the 102 Grand Giveaway Hits, from the ONLY FL's radio station to give away $1000!"
 
A few more things then enough about me (personal contact [email protected]). Looking forward to Dave's take on the RCB years. Congrats to my friends who have made a lifetime career out of this, the list of those who didn't is much longer. Listened to Mike the other day, sounded superb as usual.
(+remember my twisted sense of humor and read that in the post preceding this one).
 
Whenever we hit the road to the Finger Lakes ("Swiss Family Radknowski") back in the day, WECQ was one of the stations I checked out. With rare exception, the station always sounded good (although, there was one time when something was woefully out of phase and seemingly every third song was cancelling nearly 100% in mono, but that was an exception), local and entertaining. You could tell the jocks were into it. No surprise that many of them went on to bigger and better things.

It appears this thread can claim the title for "longest duration and posts," having surpassed the record set by previous WKBW-WWKB threads. There's one for the books!
