Suprise E-mail

"Uncle Russ" was a our leader and guided our careers. This from his daughter and what a nice surprise! Hope she kind find that picture.

Hank,

I don't know if you remember me. I am Russ Huntington's daughter Denise.

I have a friend from Phoenix who happened to be in Flagstaff today and came upon (by accident) E. Huntington Dr.. I received an email from him asking if that road was named after my family. I told him that, yes, the original road was named after my father who was general manager of the top-40 radio station KEOS back in the 60's & early 70's.

Anyway, that led me to googling KEOS to see what happened to it (I moved to California in 1973 and I think dad moved to Cottonwood in 1975.) My search brought up your KEOS blog. I don't see anything new on the blog since around the time of Clint's death. But I enjoyed seeing the pics of you and Bob Polk and Clint and Alvie and Tony. I worked at KEOS 690 (the new one) doing part-time traffic/billing from 1969-1971, while I went to NAU, but I have fond memories of all of you (and Margaret Reinke & others who passed through).

Somewhere I have a picture of Dad kneeling in front of the racks of 45's at the old station downtown. It's a black & white photo of him bending down holding a record. I suspect it is from the early 60's. If you are still maintaining your blog (or plan to) and would like a copy of that picture, I'll email you a copy (provided I can find it in my boxes of stuff).

Anyway, seeing your blog was a blast from the past. I hope you can continue updating it.
