Larry Morrow is one of Cleveland's most popular celebrities. In this book he tells stories from a lifetime in radio--how he got into broadcasting, early days in Detroit, the exciting times at Cleveland's AM powerhouse WIXY 1260 in the 1960s and '70s, and his long on-air runs at WERE AM and WQAL FM. He tells about many interesting celebrities he interviewed and unusual promotions he was involved in. Morrow was named "Mr. Cleveland" by mayor George Voinovich for his decades of tireless effort promoting his adopted city, and he has been selected as master of ceremonies for most major Cleveland events in the past three decades, including Cleveland's bicentennial celebration. He is in great demand as a public speaker and a communications teacher.
This book is a reflection of a group of Larry Lindstrom's friends whose stories of hunting, fishing, golfing, and their brotherhood of friendship have resulted in many humorous incidents. It was the encouragement of these friends that inspired Larry to write these stories and put them in print. Larry draws his humor from his real life experiences and those of his circle of friends. His career in broadcast radio afforded him the time and friendships that provided the elements for these stories. Now retired, he is sharing his humorous adventures in the outdoors with other sportsmen. The names have been changed to protect those who may recognize themselves in his stories. Sit back and enjoy the whimsical, humorous collection of stories that could only have been written by someone with the ability to find the humorous side of life!
From Death to Disney. Larry Watkin won the National Book Award in 1937 for his novel ON BORROWED TIME, about Death imprisoned in an apple tree. From there, after an adventurous stint in the US Navy, he joined the Disney studio, working alongside Walt Disney himself on live-action classics.
This book is the author's recollections of his boyhood, working after school in an Ozarks pool hall owned by his father and grandfather, and the old farmers and rivermen who were his best friends. He writes a hilarious account of what he remembers of the nightly occurrences woven around the hunting and fishing stories and tales those old men told which helped to steer a young boy toward a life as an outdoor writer. This true account of those years in the 1960's is all about real people and real situations, and will bring a lot of laughs to anyone who remembers the wit and wisdom of old-timers just like these.
