"OK Boomer!"

 

Opening

OK Kid,

For some of us the Holidays are rougher than the rest of the year.  So some of us need a little Encourementology with Kendell Boysen.

When you listen to the Boomer newscast, you might be listening to a certain story and say, "What? That doesn't make sense!"  But maybe it does.

OK Kid,

Speaking of which...

I blanche every time I hear my voice from 47-yeasrs ago!   For those of you who were not blessed with a broadcast career, there is probably little evidence of what kind of a kid you were back then.

This will be hard to believe but I was interviewed by this fellow-Roger Ramjet in 1976!

Also, a senior center in a small town had to move several times for several different reasons.  We'll hear about that.
