[BC] Re: A new way for small stations to survive!

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

I've known Mr Bittner on and off since I was a Freshman in high school in
high school (almost 9 years ago) and I have the utmost respect for him. He's
one of the, if not the most honest broadcaster I've ever known. He's a kind
man, when I was in high school and craving whatever information I could read
o nthe broadcast business, once every 3 or 4 months.. he'd send me what we
called a "Paul Walker Box".. full of old, but fairly recent Radio Guides and
Radio World magazines.

I look up to him as an inspiration of sorts, 'cuse if Good ole Bob can do
it, so can I!   He's got a wonderful set of values and morals.. and if half
the broadcasters who own or run stations today were half as good as him, the
broadcasting business would be 100x better then it is today.

I've also seen pictures of Bob's facility at WJTO (different pictures then
what's on fybush.com/bostonraido.org) and it is absolutely stunning there.

I've never met Bob.. the 4 or 5 times if been to Boston, he was never around
because of bad weather or a holiday.
