   I wish. But it was 10 KW WAUK AM/20 KW FM in Waukesha back during the 1960s   
   starting when I was 22. Before that, I worked at 50 KW WISN as a staff   
   engineer. My ex-homeroom/math teacher was moonlighting at WISN during the   
   summer. During 1968 to 1970, I was at clear-channel 50 KW WRVA AM/   
   super-power FM in Richmond.   
      
   I helped set up part of the PA sound sytem and run it in 1966 for   
   UW-Milwaukee's spring graduation, and Warren was the speaker. My 1957 Jaguar   
   XK-140 roadster was parked behind the podium's backdrop curtains, and he   
   asked if he could get inside. A friend nearby was doing photography for   
   UW-M, so a few days later he dropped off a number of pictures with the   
   Governor in the car. I left the keys in it in case he wanted to start or   
   drive it. But I was too preoccupied with other affairs to see if he actually   
   did. I was pleasantly surprised seeing those 8 by 10 pictures, though.   
      
   I worked for WTMJ with the then multiple-year "Sportcaster of the Year" -   
   Jim Irwin (the GB Packers radioplay-by-play announcer) when he soloed three   
   years of the home games of University of Wisconsin Big-10 basketball games   
   while I was at 10KW WTSO (Ten-Seven-O)/ FM WZEE in Madison during 1974   
   through 1977). It was just Jim and me doing those games. Got parking spaces   
   for two! cars at the entry of Camp Randall (if I needed two cars at the UW   
   Field House!), plus three tickets in addition to mine in the press box in   
   the balcony.
