Thanks for the info on Scott Jackson/Jerry Anderson-he also worked at WKRC from 1973-1976, then at WUBE AM and FM, as Scott Jackson on AM, Jerry Anderson on FM. I last heard him on the original WDJO in 1986-1987, when he replaced Ted McAllister, when Ted left to devote full time to being a consultant

Regarding Don Everhart

I was married to Don Everhart a.k.a. Bwana Johnny from WTUE. My name is Debbie. Don and I married 7/27/1974. He left WTUE in 1974 and went to WQPD in Lakeland, Florida. In 1975 we moved to Dallas, Texas and he went to work as Chief Audio Engineer for Bill Meeks at PAMS. Unfortunately Don passed away 10/19/1983 at the age of 32 from a massive heart attack.
