Hey Bob:

Yeah, WRVR Memphix became WHRK.  I don't remember if it was Viacom or 
Adams who sold them to Ragan.

If you were at WKHK in 82 then I think you may have come after, or just 
before, my friend Jon Banks as CE.  I believe Jon was moved up there 
from WRVR Memphis, but I might be wrong.

Small world.
