KFXM Samples

Back many years ago, I decided to get rid of stuff I didn't think I needed.  Duplicate envelopes, that were torn up, in bad condition were the first to go.  (Should have kept them) But I did use my mothers sewing scissors to cut up souviners from the envelopes, and put them in a nice envelope.  Here are some of my cutups.

I Got Letters from KFXM and K/MEN Prizes and Promo Stuff

And no, I don't know where the Burglar-Buck ended up.  It may have been a real dollar bill.  If it was a K/MEN Buck, I don't know why I didn't keep it.

KFXM and K/MEN Prizes and Promo Stuff

When I started listening to the radio, I won a lot of contests from KFXM.  Only a few from KMEN.  Going through some boxes, I found a few more momentos I don't think I put up on my blog before.   Here are a few of the envelopes I kept.   I threw a lot of them out, and a few I cut up which I will put up a collage of the fragments.
No, I no longer live on 18th Street.
