I'm reminded of meeting Ms. Hepburn in a beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright house in Darien, Connecticut when I was a little girl.My mother and Ms. Hepburn were both good friends of the owners. So, Ms. Hepburn in her prime, pre-palsy is the one I know. I never saw "On Golden Pond", in its entirety, but I spoke numerous times with Jane Fonda about acting in a movie with her father.It was extraordinary for both of them, because of their complex relationship. I refer you to Ms. Fonda's autobiography to further illuminate all of that. And that's the real poop.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-18048246963662083622013-05-29T13:09:20.671-07:002013-05-29T13:09:20.671-07:00Christine,

Q had only had the company a short time It was also not like Gene was Out on the streets the day after. As for the Q killing KGO they own it Let them sink it. With Sweet jack a Cumulus company Propping it up KGO should be doing Bad Radio for sometime to come.DRIVE BY OPINIONhttp://www.drivebyopinion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-54111548819578325132013-05-28T09:43:45.069-07:002013-05-28T09:43:45.069-07:00I knew you'd pipe in.

With the blessings of Cumulus management, I did three solid hours on that particular subject, with many, many callers opining on what had happened. I've no idea if it "counted" or not, but it mattered to me and to those who wanted to speak about it.

Not only did Cumulus kill KGO, they killed Gene Burns. Mr. Burns death is "work related", no different than a coal miner or construction worker killed on the job because of an employers complete disregard for the health and safety of their workers. Cumulus' treatment of Mr. Burns deserves the attention of California's Labor Board and Worker's Compensation Department, as well as the National Labor Relations Board. Additionally, I hope someone in his family files a huge civil suit against Cumulus over their complete disregard of how to treat employees they choose to lay off. Maybe a big old lawsuit would teach the Dickey's a lesson in employee relations....

Therefore, it is not surprising that again Pat Thurston would be the one with COJONES to do the right thing. Bravo Pat for a wonderful and touching show for Mr. Burns. I found it hilarious that the phonies Brian Copeland and Ronnnnnnnn Owens decided to talk about Gene Burns after his death but did not stand up four him the day he was fired.

When KGO was Number One.<br />I was honored to do the morning news with Jim Dunbar and Ted Wygant and Melanie Morgan .... Ken Beck. Bruce Kamen was our News Director ... Jim Easton was there for a bit .... Lee Rogers .... Ray .... I used to do the 49ers halftime news with Starkey ..... worked with Dr Dean .... went up in the traffic Copter a couple of times when Lou and Lyn couldn't. Ed and Rosie were in the afternoon. <br />I am very sentimental about KGO. They were the BEST years in American Broadcastig.

No one in corporate is going to hear word one about any of this, nor would they care if they did. It got to this place because they don't care! If I had to guess what would come of this I'd say someone would get fired for allowing it to happen! Only because it was a vacation weekend was this able to transpire. This happens on a normal Tuesday and none of it happens come the weekend. That's my guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
