Well hello everyone, I just stumbled across this site, and saw the items on Alvin Van Black. I shared an office with him at KTRH from 1973 to 1977. He was one of the most entertaining "on air" personalities I ever worked with. He knew how to get listener reaction, and he really had a good memory about things in the past about Houston. I'm sorry he's gone and I did not even know that Leonardo was murdered. So sad. He used to call my talk show too, what a guy. Another caller whom I'm sure is gone was the "bottle lady", she collected every type and size of glass bottle and jar you ever wanted to see. I moved to Albuquerque in 1977, and am still working in radio here, doing morning news on a Christian station. I'll be 70 next year, and hope to keep working till Jesus comes back, or takes me home. The way things are going in Washington DC now, it shouldn't be much longer. I miss the "old days" of radio at KTRH especially when they were in the Rice hotel, remember what KTRH stands for, Come To The Rice Hotel...and when I was news director at KILT, great fun there, Apollo 11 and Apollo 13, fun times to cover news. I don't miss your Houston traffic or your humidity. My best to every one, Frank Haley
