When did you KNOW?

Is it just me or are most of us part of the generation from the fun days of radio - growing up in the late 60's/early 70's listening to AM radio (local/distant) and that time being the defining moment we wanted (had to) to be a part of it?
We could all write volumes of good times and great memories of radio and our "mentors" back then.
Thanks to VerteranWorkerBee for starting this thread and allowing us to share a brief trip back in time.

We are a part of that era and now computers are this era.
 
1979...I was in high school in the dormitory at Bremerhaven, (West) Germany. One morning I turned on AFN, and Staff Sergeant Bill Poague was on...and good...and funny! I interviewed him for the school newspaper, after which he said he would give me a tour of the radio station. After the tour, he asked if I would consider providing reports of the high school athletic events. Hooked!...

After getting back to the states I found what other jocks were able to get away with, and I wanted to as well. I love radio...(sometimes, way too much.)

At least you still love it. It's much harder to love radio today.

I guess I am a child of the 70's, Because I remember living with my mother and she always had Jim Scott on WSAI every weekday morning and this was when they actually played music.

Just how old is Jim Scott anyway??
