Thank You For The Memories

Wow! Its hard for me to imagine not driving up the mountain every morning to host the Morning Show but that is about to happen. I'm Florida bound! My last day on the air will be Sunday August 30th.

Its hard to imagine that nine years have gone by so quickly! Its been an interesting nine years. I started out as the host of the Mid-Day show playing Praise and Worship music. That was fine, I was familiar with that style of music.

But then Monte Palmer informed me that I was going to take over the Morning Show and start playing Southern Gospel music I was flabbergasted! I knew nothing about SG music and didn't really like it. I had a rough time those first few months adjusting to the names and sounds of SG music. It was rough!

A funny thing happened after a few months. I found myself enjoying some of the music. The Bishops, Jeff and Sheri Easter, Booth Brothers, McKameys.. it wasn't that bad after all. Soon I began enjoying a variety of artists. I never could enjoy the twangy, whiney SG music that is heard on some SG stations and when I had a chance I would never play it - sorry if you like that style but ehhhh!

I remember the big worry over Y2K. I was just getting ready to come off the air when USA Network news announced that a plane had struck the World Trade Center. I remember praying and having people call back in as God had answered their prayers - that's priceless.

Its a huge move and I don't have a job lined up as I type this but the situation dictates that I move. Please keep me in your prayers. I will keep you informed of what has become of me on this blog. (The name will probably change but...)

Thank you for all of your encouragement and support over the years. I'm going to miss this ministry and you.

I just wanted to say Thank you for all you have done. I am not sure how I am going to adjust to not listening to you every morning. Good luck with your move and thanks once again for many hours of listening to you and your music.

Tim, it is with great sadness that my family and I say "good bye" to you! We have been "with you" all nine years - way back even to the Sugar Creek Gang days! :) The Light of the Lord shines through you clearly. May He light your path, guide you, and provide for you and your family on your new journey!

Tim, sure going to miss hearing you in the morning. I live in Grafton, WV and work in Morgantown. My son and I always listened to you every morning on our way to work. We would tune into 88.1 and about half way to Morgantown we would loose 88.1 and pick you up on 106.9. I have been in El Paso Tx for the last few weeks and wondered where you were at on Tuesday morning. We thought you might have been on a vacation. Now we know why you were not on the air. We will miss you Tim. God bless you and your family where ever you go and what ever you do. It feels like we are loosing a friend. God bless form a faithful listener.
