Here are handwritten notes Mal made when preparing to talk about his work. (If you have heard his talk you understand he never typed a word.) Interesting things he mentions that you may not hear in the talk —

• His first job in on the air was a commercial on Ma Perkins
• He tried to get WBBM to hire Ann Margaret (in about 1961, before she hit big)
• After he started WIVS there was a time with a lot of the family in the business
• The growth of FM stereo
