Kudos to Ron! Maybe for a future PDX Radio event, we should go to the Oregon Historical Society Library or the Multnomah County Library to look through this masterpiece. |

The last one that I am aware of was the get-together at Mark Lindsey's Rock&Roll Cafe. That took place almost a year ago. |

There are two versions of Ron Kramer's book. The first edition (available now and shipping to libraries) will have indexes and cross-reference points. The edition that will be released to book stores in January will not have all of that material. I got to look at his book and it is truly amazing. Great stories about Oregon broadcasting history. |

Just heard from Ron. He told me both The Multnomah Country Library & The Oregon Historical Society Library have copies of his book. We don't know if the books are on the shelves yet but they might be. I'd check first before taking the trip. |

Is the title of Ron's book really spelled "Mikes" or is it the more traditional abbreviation for microphone "Mics" as in the plural? |

Yes! Mikes: |
