On October 30, Carl Wiglesworth (as he is known and loved in San Antonio) was inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame, a well deserved honor after more than 30 years of trail blazing and successful talk radio in the Alamo City.

The Duke of Louisville, Bill Bailey, is suffering from emphysema and the effects of strokes and is confined to a wheel chair in a nursing home. On November 10, several of us visited him. The brain, wit and voice remain as always. Thankfully, his right arm is still in good shape as he does a great deal of painting a cartooning. The rest of his body is a mess. We went to cheer him up. However, as you would expect, Bill took the center stage and entertained us and cheered us up.
