I have been curious for a long time, what the heck happened to Jim Eason?

He was my introduction to talk radio and I miss him.

I know he moved to North Carolina (?) and still did the broadcast, but when I moved back to Cali I never heard him again.

Thanks for whatever you know.

I think he is living in the Smoky Mountains somewhere or near Asheville.

I swapped email with him as he pulled the plug some years back. He was a damn fine man and did this Bay Area a great service in his years on the radio. I miss him too.

Eason quit in June of 2000.

I'm trying to remember the details of why, but I think it had something to do with an attempt to cut his 2-4p timeslot in half. That may have been when KSFO brought over Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura.

Hopefully somebody else can confirm that for me.
