He was a big part of my youth; including Dave Thomas who left Buffalo many years ago. And let's not forget Promo the Robot.

And as Commander Tom would always say after doing the late night weather, "It's 11 o'clock, do you know where your children are?"

Dave Thomas of Rocketship 7 is still alive at 87. He remembers his old 'KB colleague.
