Welcome back to the final segments of our shared memories of WERH’s Mr. James  Fowler, a beloved gentleman to many in our community. But everyone in our interviews last week and today have already said it much better. Ditto, my friends. I’ll come back once more for a brief sign off at the end.Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to share their stories with me and our readers.
I am so grateful to Mr. Fowler for giving me and his other DJs the opportunity to work in radio. I began as a fill-in and later became the weekend DJ, while also working as a journalist during the week.
Regarding Mr. Fowler, I’ve said a few things already, and I could say a lot more.
