Loved Shep and listened to his program every night it was aired on WOR starting in 1969. His books came next, and I've read most of them 6 times or more. I got a great kick out of the Bumpus family, Shep's father fighting the furnace, and all of his army stories. Like Shep, I am a ham operator, but alas, never contacted K2ORS directly. It would have been an honor and privilege to talk to this great man. Saw him once in concert at Princeton University back in the mid 1980s. He was even better in person! Now if I can only find a tape recorder that will play them, I can dust off the tapes I made of his on air shows that are stacked in the closet.... Excelsior You Fathead! Keep the great stuff coming!

I grew up in Calumet City IL, next to Hammond IN. I shopped, worked and went to the movies in Hammond. I knew some people who knew Jean Shepherd personally.

Dear Max,
Were you the announcer, introducing for a WBAI
radio show around 1969 for (Someone
or other) The Purple Pirate?
I am so grateful for your sanity
during 10 years of my dysfunctional
crack addiction in the 90's.
After 7 months total sobriety I quit
my 25 year carreer with the
Postal Service in Long Island,
New York.
I managed to get my life back in
a Civillian Federal permanent position
at the Arsenal in Arkansas.
I'm doing great now. My new Manager
likes me, the Colonel knows me by
my first name.
I was a New Yorker from 1957 till
2000. I still think they should call
it "Fun City", The Big Apple should
be for upstate, NY.
Your doing great, Max.

I'm glad someone has put up this internet site. Jean Shepherd had to be one of the greatest story tellers of our time and deserves to be remembered. I never missed a show if I could help it. Set my tape recorder before going to bed in case I fell a sleep.
