I Have a Byline



The Rittman edition of The Post, one of ten community editions of The Post newspapers, from Trogdon Publishing in Rittman, Ohio, took my article of the Rittman Band Show, condensed it, put it on the front page, and gave me the byline.

Thanks to the Post for helping give the band the recognition they deserve. Also thanks for keeping my paragraph in there recognizing Ed Sims, Becky Cline and Joe Magnacca, as they have a tendency to not take the credit they deserve.

One minor correction, and this is my fault more than anyone elses. The photograph, taken by the way, by my daughter Sylva, was of the awards presentation, and was of all the bands. The Rittman seniors receiving their trophy, are in the picture on the upper right.

Support your local band. Rittman tag day is this Saturday, November 4.

P.S. To the Worlds Greatest Band Boosters(WGBB). You are now official with that title. It says so in The Post.

Also: I am now putting in a plug for my friends at the Rittman IGA, where you can pick up a copy of the Rittman Post, as well as the best fried chicken in Rittman.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...
