Bob Friedman (BF): USO? Not USO, the… SM: It was the… BF: I know it I just can’t think of it. Anyways, this was broadcast out of where? SM: They were in Saigon. They had another station in Da Nang, I believe. BF: Did they play popular music? SM: Yeah, yeah. Good stuff. It was everything, they played everything. BF: Were you curious about that? SM: I was curious about that. I never lost my curiosity for the technical aspect of radio, and after I got back, somehow, I just by chance took the ACT and passed that, then I applied at Loyola University for their business school.

Man, I loved it. BF: You get paid every day. SM: Yeah. You get paid every day. You make a nice buck. Every day. BF: I can’t say what I did with that. SM: Oh man. I can’t say either.

We got to be kind of friendly, talking and stuff, and I finally asked her What the heck do you do down here? And she said I’m the night jock at WLUP. Trudy Fisher was her name.
