| Message | After a semester at College Of The Desert, Palm Desert, Cal. I moved to Hollywood in the Winter of 1969. Don Martin's proved be be one of my life's greatest adventures. I lived on June St. well within walking distance to the school. This time and subsequent events set-in-motion a career lasting over twenty years, and covering everything from engineering, promoting, producing, booking & management to full-tilt partying for days on end. It was the height of Hippiedom/FM Underground Radio and unspeakable hedonism. If only there were more survivors! |

| Message | Whoa! What a kick to find this site and to read all the great messages! Greetings to all you alums. I attended DMS between 1969-1970 Grad. and fondly remember the deep & mello voice of Hamilton Williams and the voice lessons from Jim Finch, they both had a great influence on my reading and talking on the radio. The Pastor's son at my church Paul Shakleton, also a DMS grad was attending and I asked if I could come and check out the school, it sounded like so much fun, and it was "all that and a bag of chips!" I got my first phones and my first Radio job from DMS at KLAN AM 1320 Hanford, CA then on to KARL FM Carlsbad, CA both TOP 40 stations that allowed me to be DJ/Announcer,Newsman. I returned to college and worked at KHOF Channel 30 UHF TV during those yrs. I have since worked for Salem at KFIA/KTKZ Sacramento, CA as Sales Manager and KFAX as Advertising Consultant, KBBE/KNGL McPherson, KS as Sales Manager and most recently with Bott Radio Network as Area Manager/General Manager KCVW FM/KJRG AM Wichita, KS. I will always remeber fondly my beginnings with the training on those old boards in the studios of Don Martin School.  |

| Message | I went to Don Martin from 71 to 73. I lived at a rooming house at Hollywood and Vannes(sp?) right by the 101. I worked at all the movie theaters up and down Hollywood Blvd. Never made it back to LA, but I did make it to WLS in Chicago. Shame, radio is in such bad shape. I'm now out of radio due to my health after 36 years--20 of those years as a left-wing talk show host. |
