Hi, Tim, my question has nothing to do with your book, sorry. You're the only link I can locate who might be able to help me find out if anyone connected with or interested in WBMJ would like the five hours of telescoped airchecks I have of the station from two weeks in August 1968. You're prominently on them. If you can help, please get back to me at webbrichard@cox.net. Thanks. Now I'll buy the book. ?
Tim Schaefer Richard, I emailed you. Hope you received it.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Tim Schaefer I don't think of it as writer's block. I think more in terms of periods when I feel inspired, and other periods where the muse is taking a sabbatical. I just wait for the muse to return, and meet it at the airport.
