There are moments in people's lives when they bond like no one else can.

Back in the 1980s, that is exactly what happened when four people got together and made a radio station called 99Q. Yes, we had help, and yes, we had people who did not like us at the time, but when it all came together, for a few years there, we ruled the air waves in Quincy and the Tri-State area.

Many people who are in radio do not get to enjoy and have the fun we four had. We would eat, sleep and just breath radio. We were lucky to have general managers who let us do our thing. Who trusted us with the toys we had and trusted us to make the best of it.

Every radio station starts out with a big bang, thinking this could last forever. And some make it in radio for a long time. When we were really rolling, it was so much fun. Even the general managers had some fun. But after a while,things change and good people leave and they go to different places.

99Q signed on the air 30 years ago. These three people who I shared so much with will always be in my heart.
