I hadn't thought of Pastor Pack (see below) in a couple of dog's ages. One good story I think I heard from Rev. Hultgren himself. When wireless microphones were new, the good Reverend started using one so he could move around without the constraints of the wire. Everything went fine until the pastor of Boston Avenue Methodist heard about it, said "what a great idea," and got one too... on the same frequency. There were dueling sermons on the churches' loudspeakers for a couple of weeks before an ecclesiastical frequency coordination session resolved the problems.

11/2006: Former KOTV anchor Larry Thomlinson has written a new book of short stories: Life, Death and other Dysfunctions.

Larry: "Of the nine stories in this collection two are true. They are memoirs of two marvelous ladies in my life. There's Miss Isabelle Ronan, who in a haunting two-story house, taught me the language I have carried with me since those Saturday morning sessions so long ago in 'A Time Remembered.' There's 'Allie' our maid--who for all practical purposes was my second mother during my formative years growing up. 'Allie' is also the story of one of the worst chapters in American history that occurred in my hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's the story of the events of that horrible day--June 1, 1921. I must add that the dialogue between Allie and me pertaining to her involvement in the riot was added for emphasis and storytelling. However, all of the events expressed are historically recorded. The remaining seven stories are composites of people and characters I've known over the years. (However, I must add that any resemblance to anyone actually living or dead is purely coincidental.) The stories originate in Tulsa, Oklahoma and continue through to my life here in southern California. These are stories gathered from an eclectic life of multiple careers, ranging from acting, journalism, radio and television, and the wonderful experience I've had dealing with people as a licensed California funeral director. It is through these life learning experiences that I derived the title Life, Death and other Dysfunctions. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I have."

Hey, good-lookin', I'll be back to pick you up later!
