There was one other person and of course, Bill Powell. It's so interesting that when I moved to Oregon, one of the first people I met was Bill's son Peter. I still see him and Bill's ex-wife from time to time. Wells Brady and I were good friends as he was the local engineer working under Old Shep from Flagstaff. It's been 35 years since my stint at KUPI but over the years I talked with Jim many times about this and that. Unfortunately, it's been a few since I had contact with him. He was a great radio man and I'm sure Idaho Falls will miss him.</p><p>One more interesting note, after I left KUPI and went back to Pocatello before moving to Oregon, he hired me to wire the new studios in the old service station. This was just before they bought the fm. That was a fun job. hehe</p>glennfrankThu, 01 Oct 2009 23:41:05 -0000http://idahoradionews.com/index.php/2009/09/23/garchow-loses-leukemia-fight/#comment-17914374<p>I remember Jim as the "cowboy who rode into town in a Cadillac" back in the late 60's. I also remember the day he had his heart attack. His only concern was who was going to do the local high school game that day. Wish I could remember names before Dennis Carlson. I worked with Jim in the late 60's and early 70's when KUPI was a great country station. Someone might remember me and I hope they will contact me. Jim was a very special person to me and my short (15 yr) career in radio. Little Shep here, Glenn Frank</p>glennfrankThu, 01 Oct 2009 00:08:13 -0000
