Where have they gone?

Looking back at radio in Atlanta, where have some of the old favorite personallities/DJ's gone? Some have retired, some are still in radio in different states, and some are totallally out of the business while some have moved to the afterlife. The WSB History site does have good info on some of their personallities. GHOFF is also providing some information. I am interested on what happened to other major bygone Atlanta DJ stars. Below is a list of some of the personallities. Please respond if you know where abouts. You can also add to the list of any you would like know about.

Gary McKee
Yetta Levitt
Dale O'Brien
Randy Rivers
Randy Reeves
Mark McCain
John Howell
John Moore
Dominoe
Jeff McCartney
Craig Ashewood
Randy and Spiff
John Long
Bob Carr (Willis Casswell)
Kathy Ficshmann
Mel Cargo
Steve Davis
 
Here are the ones I am fairly sure of:


Gary McKee-Retired from radio. Still lives in the area
Randy Reeves-Still In the area. Does a ton of voice work.
Craig Ashewood-With Cox Interactive here in Atlanta. Still does the Outback radio spots
Randy and Spiff-WGST Mornings
Steve Davis-A programming consultant with Guy Zapoleon. Works and lives in the Richmond, VA area. I spoke to him a few months ago.

Hope that helps

Kaedy Kieley is at 790 the Zone?

Does anyone know what happened to Steve Mapel??
 
Chuck Boozer is in Charlotte. He works for the Hendrick Motor Group, not sure how, maybe with the NASCAR thing. Could be. He's funny as hell.

Ashwood works for Cox Radio in management, Internet and New Media and Outback Steakhouse national radio.

Kaedy Kiley works in the traffic department or continuity for WQXI

McKee is the king, retired.

Coyote McCloud lives in Nashville. He was released from Oldies 97.1 (WRQQ) upon format change to Classic Hits/Bob & Tom mornings. As I understand it, he and Cathy Martindale are enjoying their time off during no compete clause period.
 
Would this be the Coyote McCloud who was at Quixie late 60s/early 70s? What would his age be....mid 60s?
 
It is the same Coyote McCloud --- and courier --- there's no non-compete, there's just no one hiring as of August 1st.
