Art will discuss the death of Ramona. Art, you are a class act. Prayers to you and your family.

He shall. That's a neat pic, Jenny. Thanks for posting it.

Geez, this guy's tryin' to make me cry. I'm not an emotional guy, and I don't do that much.

Yeah, I just about had the water works spring a leak. I'm so glad that poor bastard didn't follow through with the valium OD. This is the most real and raw thing I have ever heard on radio or TV.

[Yaelle]

She was beautiful. Poor Art.

[JTN]

You had to figure he would quit totally or do the show even more. Withdraw or dive into work to occupy his time. It sounds like he's going to be all right.

That was one of the saddest moments on radio. Art's a good man.

[SpaceBar]

I just want to thank everyone for participating in this thread. I can't add much to the already good comments and insights.

[JWojack]

This demonstrates the power of radio over TV. You'd never hear someone give a story like this on TV. Radio rules!

And I'm pleased that he's coming back, every Saturday and Sunday from now on out...

[Yaelle]

I think it will be good for him to be back. I will pray for him over the coming weeks.

[TADSLOS]

Great show tonight.

[pepperhead]

Great show tonight.

Yes it is, I am glad I stayed up to hear it.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Interesting show. He admitted to having been close to suicide after his wife's passing. A few minutes ago the show was interrupted by alarms, someone had called in saying he was "in a bad way," deputies had come to check things out.

Back to a more normal show now (he requested people don't do this; said he's all right!)

[FlyVet]

I woke up last night, turned on the radio and heard part of this broadcast. Very sad. You can tell he had a true soulmate in her, the way he has always talked about her. Not many people find that, I don't think. I imagine now he's gotten thousands of e-mails telling him to stay away from the pills.

[JudyB1938]

I am shocked. Poor guy. How did Ramona die?

[luvbach1]

All the other hosts seem to be going through the motions compared to Art.

[JTN]

Asthma attack. Died in her sleep.

[Coleus]

thanks, heard him Sunday night. It's a shame. I prayed for them when I found out last week. He's been through a lot since his son was molested.
