<div><font color="black" size="2" face="arial">Hi Guys:
</font>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>I worked for WLW-C,the Columbus, Ohio TV station owned by Crosley. The senior staff members who had worked in <span style="font-size:10pt;">Cincinnati had fond memories </span>of Crosley. They said he was a generous employer. I joined the company just after
it was sold to a group owner whose interest was primarily financial. The "family" character of the company was replaced by a corporate model.</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>I have one other memory, this one of the radio station. It offered a program of classical music called "Music Till Dawn" that ran from midnight till 7 am. I was in grad school at the time, and I wrote many a term paper with "Music Till Dawn" in the background.
An academic, Larry Lichty, who also a friend, wrote a history of WLW called "The Nation's Station."</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>And, as a footnote, my father owned and drove a Crosley, one of the cars Crosley manufactured in his short-lived entry in the automobile business. It fun to drive, but noisy.</div>

<div>As discussed in our small group today, there was a fascinating excerpt from a magazine that had been sitting on a table in the Mayes building for a while that I had read. It was about the growth of the radio station WLW from a home hobby-type endeavor
to the most powerful transmitter in the country. We have one of the tubes from this transmitter in the wireless building, sitting there with very little mention of its history. Here is a quick <a rel="noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2015/mayjune/feature/in-the-1930s-radio-station-wlw-in-ohio-was-americas-one-and-only-sup">link</a>
to an article I found, although it's not the one I had read before, nor have I had the time to go through this one. There are also YouTube video tours of the facility that still contains a great deal of the equipment built for this 500kW station. This is
just one example of the great deal of history we have artifacts of, but no good presentation or explanation for visitors to learn from or appreciate. This story also ties into all of our Crosley radios as well. <br clear="all">
