Listening to our txradioguy here as he helps in covering President Ford's departure from AndrewsAFB.
Old Guard presentation as soon as this is over..
What we are doinng is going back to special programming during the times when the motorcade or as the case is now the body in flight to Michigan...we will go back to special programming...then return live to the studio when the flight arrives in Grand Rapids.
You're Rusty, right?
*blush*
Thank you.
Yes this is a big honor for me. One that I didn't expect to be doing either.
I think it's probably going to be my next duty station when I'm done with The Old Guard.
Nope I'm John. THe one they keep tossing to when they have questions about the Ceremonial aspects of what is happening.
Alright. I love this channel, is it also on television? If not is should be.
The replay is coming up on Pentagon channel...
It depends on your local cable company. A lot of them carry it...just depends on where you're at.
Oh wait, it's a continuation of coverage coming up.
I'd better get a few things done right quick.
How is everything with you, anyway?
North Georgia. We get Atlanta's stations.
Any moment..?
