"You have a great website, and a killer radio
station. I had the day off Monday and listened to WSGS throughout the
morning, at home for a change, not in a car on a highway to Tennessee. I
like the Trish Stacy Show, and I was saddened upon hearing news flash of Big
Dipper's death. I will truly miss listening to Richard's
"live" call-in program on WSGS because you never knew what kind of
high school sports fan you were gonna hear. There was never a dull
moment of air time, even when the phones were silent. I don't attend as
many high school sporting events as I used to, but Dipper's enthusiasm for the
games and the kids who played them has left me with a lasting
impression." Robert Dean Cornet, Dwarf, KY
