We are so saddened to have to report to you, that we have just been told the President has just died." At that point, the entire locker room erupted into whoops and cheers, high fives, "awlllright"s, and we all kept shouting with glee! The rest of the school could not understand why the boys in the locker room would be so insensitive and take such tragic news with such joy. Well, because of all the noise in the locker room when the announcement came on, and the speaker was so tinny, when Mrs. Townsend said "the President" had passed away, WE all thought she said "THE PRINCIPAL" had just died. (In a noisy locker room, can you see the similarity in sound between the two words?)True story.William F.

We were all immediately rushed over to the church and spent the rest of the day in prayer. KFXM and K/MEN dropped their regular music and played funeral music (mixed with news reports) until early the following week. <BR/><BR/>Tom, <BR/>Lexington, KYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-50257834503622800642008-11-25T07:51:00.000-08:002008-11-25T07:51:00.000-08:00I remember that of all the top 40 stations in the ...I remember that of all the top 40 stations in the area KFWB,KRLA,K/men and KFXM,<BR/>the first one to go back to regular<BR/>programming was KFXM.
