    What you should know about Zylotrim

    And from the dark secluded valleys

    I heard the ancient songs of sadness

    But every step I thought of you

    Every footstep only you

    And every star a grain of sand

    The leavings of a dried up ocean

    Tell me, how much longer?

    How much longer?

    - Sting, "Mad About You"

    The world is full of paper,

    Write to me.

    - Shahid Agha Ali, poem

    Season's Greetings from WLOS, circa 1982

    WLOS Staff - Xmas1982 - Courtesy of Kathi Petersen

    Here's a great photo from loyal reader Kathi. Click here to see a larger version of the photo. I'll let Kathi tell you more about it:

    Hey Jason – Thought your readers might enjoy this photo I recently dug up from my days as Promotion Manager at WLOS. This was taken in 1982 (yikes) and you’ll see there are some familiar faces still there today: Darcel Grimes, Stan Pamfilis, Sherrill Barber, and recently retired Bob Caldwell. For those who’ve been around a while, there are some others people may recognize: Lisa Clark from PM Magazine, weatherman Bob Becker, anchors Deborah Furr, Jerry Mayer and Larry Wheeler. And of course, Mort Cohn!

    There are plenty of off-camera staffers who are still there and in this picture, and a bunch of others like myself who used to work there and are still in town. However, but you won’t find me in this picture. I was up on a ladder directing people – this was the station’s Christmas card and it was my department’s responsibility to produce it. Longtime WLOS production man Skeet Plemmons, also a commercial photographer – and who’s still at the station – took the picture.

    Cheers!

    Kathi
