Mike Campbell 
     "I worked at KPHO, Channel 5, during the B & W days of '62. I was just back home from the USAF and had the great privilege of working with Wallace & Ladmo, Pat McMahon, Mike Condello, Rita Davenport, Art Brock, Harry Ebbeson, and many others. I was a guitar picker as well in those old days and used to 'jam' with Mike Condello from time to time. Not excluding the great folks that came in to do their own sometimes live commercials. Acquanetta was the most memorable, we will miss her greatly!  I'm trying to stay retired in the beautiful Verde Valley. (Clarkdale)  I work with archiving old photos to digital, and turning old vinyl to CD's.
     The short time I worked at KPHO was the most memorable experience of my life! I have attended a couple of W & L Anniversary Re-unions, and have enjoyed the participation with 50 years worth of fans comments. I am still searching for an old photo taken of me and Jimmy Clanton backstage at Stage Seven by Johnnie Franklin in '62. When I run across it, I'll have a 'then and now' for you! I was directed to this site by a friend who thinks I belong here, I'm surprised to see the number of people whom I've worked with or met!"

Paul Miller
     I've come full circle! I started my career in Arizona and I am back after more than 2 decades of 
nomadic behavior. Yes, even some Traffic people job-hop as much as the on-air folks!  I got the broadcasting bug while at ASU listening to my hero Art Webb on KBBC and the likes of Lew Jones 
on KUPD.Later,in my first broadcasting job,I was a "gopher" at KTAR/KKLT where I eventually got to 
work with both of them!  One day while I was filling in for the receptionist, the General Manager of KTAR  came by and said, "how would you like to do Traffic?". I said "would I have to get in a 
helicopter?"....And of course he said it was the kind of Traffic where you print out a log. After my 
initial disappointment, I said sure, I'll do anything to stick around!
     Well, long story short (not really!), that was the start of my career in Broadcast Traffic Operations. 
While I was Traffic Assistant at KTAR/KKLT, I also was a DJ at a restaurant. I left KTAR/KKLT to go to 
the short lived news-talk KSUN. Boy was that a mistake! The restaurant I worked for transferred me 
to Houston,TX, where I also continued my career in Traffic. Since then, I have been Traffic Manager in 
Houston at KPRC-TV. I moved to Columbus,Ohio and was Traffic Manager at WSYX-TV. I returned to Houston and was Traffic Manager at KTXH-TV and later KHOU-TV. My next stint was at KTVT-TV in Dallas/Ft.Worth. Finally, before returning to Arizona, I was Traffic Manager at WOIO/WUAB in Cleveland, Ohio.
     Currently, I am Traffic Coordinator for KAET-TV in Tempe, on the ASU campus. I am roaming the same hallways I did as a student 25 years ago! Family has brought me back to Arizona. And shoveling the driveway in Cleveland also had something to do with it! 
Matt Ganis
media911matt@yahoo.com

Then: news director at kool radio  1978-1985 news director at kfnn radio  1991-1995 news anchor/ sports talk show host  kfyi radio 1989-1991. voice of the talking phonebook--creative services 
manager  1987-1991 owner/operator media 911--working with small businesses to develop media kits...teach interview techniques...and get their unique stories told on compatible media outlets.

Now:  with the vast changes in the industry and the presentation of news...i decided to become licensed in property and casualty insurance. i have been a top ten performer for progressive insurance since 1998. the only thing i had sold before was a ten speed bicycle in college...now i find i have an innate ability to sell. wish i knew that when i was in the broadcasting industry. perhaps now i would bew the gm of a top news/talk/sports AM and progressive rock/folk on FM. i still maintain a few clients from media 911 but i have phased out full time operations since i have enjoyed my success at progressive.

Comment: i want to thank don andrews...who took a big chance on hiring a rock announcer as a newscaster at koolfm. without his mentoring i would never have succeeded in establishing a career in news. he taught the little things..those things that make a difference between competency and accomplishments that led to numerous awards during my tenure. don was patient, humble, dynamic, extremely intelligent and knowledgable in so many different subjects...he would be great at jeopardy. he basically taught me news 101-401 in the time we were together. my only desire is that he knows how much i appreciate him to this day...and that any stories to the contrary were caused by a vicious smear due to an unknown agenda by a person i never would have believed to have perpetrated such a divisive tactic. i will always honor and cherish the time i was given the opportunity by don to work with him and absorb his incredible fairness and honesty. what more could you ask for in a news director?

Jim West
     Jim writes: I've had a life-long love of radio and many goals I set for myself were realized. My first full time radio gig was at KHOS,Tucson then worked for Jim Sloan at KCUB,Tucson. In 1979 I achieved a goal of working at KNIX,Phoenix starting in the overnight shift and then ending up following .Steven Martin in middays for 7 years. Loved working for Buck and Mike Owens and Larry Daniels has been a mentor to me and countless other "country" jocks over the years. I was the "station voice" of KTSP Channel 10 when it was still a CBS affiliate from 83 to 86. 
     Went on to market leader WFMS, Indianapolis for 2 years as production director and in late 1986 and then was fortunate to be one of the first people hired to startup KMLE, Phoenix as a country station in 1988. Enjoyed working with J.D. Freeman, the late H.G. Listiak, Bill Gardner(now at KOOL)Big Shoe Stu Evans and later Tim and Willy (now KNIX) and Steve Wood (now Steve Wood Voice-works). During my time at KMLE I served on the Board of Directors of the ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC in Hollywood and helped plan their annual CBS network tv awards show.  Was 
also lucky to be named a finalist for Large Market air personality of the Year from the Nashville based Country Music Association (CMA).
     In 1993 I left PHOENIX again to do the radio roulette up-and-down the dial thing. I spent time as 
Ops.Manager of various stations in Albuquerque, Baltimore, Macon, Georgia and PD of a satellite 
radio network in Vail, Colorado.  
     In late 2003 it was time for me to come back home to the valley and I've spent the last few months pursuing a sales career and looking to return to some local voice-over work. I'm also back part time weekends at KMLE (Camel Country 108).
     I will always treasure the chance to work side by side with lots of talented on-air and behind the 
scenes radio and tv folks in the Phoenix market.

     I am now part owner of an ad/pr firm in Richmond, Virginia (Martin, Silver and Clients) and still do on air work for Clear Channel in both Richmond and Charlottesville, Va...I also do 'bit parts' in movies  ("The Contender", "Hannibal", "Hearts in Atlantis") and play a cop from time to time on "The FBI Files."
     I would love to hear from some of the old gang at KBBC and KTAR...what a wonderful time I had in Phoenix.  The best time was the birth of my son, Mike, at St. Joseph's hospital.  He was born June 5, 1976 the night the Suns went triple overtime with Boston...one of the greatest 
games EVER in NBA history, and Al McCoy was there to call every play.

college I was News Director at KHAI AM in Hawaii, then moved to KGMB and established the "Coconut Wireless" news feeds to the Hawaiian chain. Back to Phoenix in the early 70's and was radio news then Creative Director at KTAR AM and FM. Best gig I ever had. I later became Creative Director for Motorola 
Corporate...it was the biggest electronics company in the world at the time and I handled 80 trade 
shows a year, 115 distributors and produced hundreds of videos for them. It was an "E-Ticket

     I've now voiced around 3,000 radio and TV spots and performed over 60 different celebrity voices 
and 21 dialects for clients in projects. Sang a national jingle the other day - frozen food. I also do

finished a 5-state photographic project for the Nez Perce Indian Nation and a commercial piece for a 
bank in the Caribbean...next month I'll be shooting in Equador for a few weeks in an Amazon nature

You may not recognize the name Andrew Alexander Limberopoulos, but you probably recall Andy Limber, the former ad agency and television production company owner.

Andy successfully worked his way through college in radio and was later employed as continuity director at KTVK-TV-3 in Phoenix.  He then became the producer/writer at Allen C. Reed Advertising on the Hallcraft Homes account and spokesperson Jeanne Metzger. After five years with Reed, Andy started his own ad agency in 1965.

     Was CEO of Fresh Start Women's Foundation for nearly 4 years (to help shore-up a nonprofit I helped get off the ground) and now, I am having fun - doing a tiny bit of consulting and pursuing other passions: am an expert on holistic healing (book/speaker) and intuitive pursuits (too weird to go into here - ha).   Love our business - and love all my old, dear friends. See you soon!

       The radio career for Harry Shapiro began in 1965 at WSOU on the campus of Seton Hall University.  From the days on the college station, which covered the New York Metro area, I was hired at WMTR in Morristown,NJ, using Harry B. Shapiro and WDHA in Dover, NJ, using Harry Bruce as my alias.  Moved to Arizona in 1970.  My first position was at KMND in Mesa, as one of the Country Gentlemen, Harry Bruce the Dude!  Following the sale of KMND, I went on to take Al McCoy's place as play by play announcer for the Phoenix Giants on radio.  That led to filling out the 70s on KOOL, KTAR, KJJJ and helped open KWAO in Sun City. During that time, through Plaza Three, I was on many commercials, voice overs and a few movie bit parts.  I was lured back to KOOL for five more years in the 80s.  While there, I started Disc Jockey Services, which is still in existence.  Through most of the 80s and 90s, I was the play by play announcer and talk show host on local cable TV with Storer, Dimension and Republic Cable.
    During the 80s, I began to change tracks, but still in communication, as a ad sales person and writer for Pueblo Publishers in the west valley.  I joined the Glendale Chamber of Commerce with the DJ service in the 80s.  Due to that relationship, I became a full time employee at Vice President of Operations with the Glendale Chamber in 1991.  And I'm still there!
Above: The photo is me with Rex Allen, Jr. and Jim West.  Jim and I are the co hosts of the annual Marty Robbins Tributes in Willcox and the Glendale area.

 I love to help others, so I am heavily involved with Kiwanis, Deer Valley Education Foundation, Banner Community Council, Glendale Civic Pride Ambassadors and the Seton Hall University Alumni Association of Arizona.

My foray into electricity and communications started at the young age in the 1950s' when as a toddler I stuffed his dad's keys into an electrical outlet and wondered what great power lay inside the wall that could throw out such a flash of light and heat... I was hooked!

In the 60s - Building telephones and radio receivers and transmitters and novel electronic devices was a thrill! I soon learned there were kids that dreamt of being "On The Air' and I was able to build a transmitter and mixing board and all the goodies for neighborhood radio station. Even took my turn behind the mike hosting the infamous Von Grimper Show! 

In the 70's in the US Air Force - worked on a wide array of communications related equipment for tactical and entertainment purposes.

When off duty - did photography for the Luke AFB newspaper and had numerous items appearing in off base local papers ... in addition picked up some advertising photography work.

After the USAF I owned a photography business catering to advertising work, back to electronics with a computer and engineering business and in recent years electronic media presence the Glendale Daily Planet, which was the first Glendale Arizona News Media Outlet to receive an Emmy® Award. In addition, this was also the first Advanced Media Emmy Award to be presented for Breaking news/ Continuing Coverage in the Rocky Mountain Region.

I am still available for consulting on a wide variety of communication technology areas. I am comfortable holding a mike or being the one to wire it up in circuit.

My big love is documenting the history of communications and computation see www.smecc.org. the site explains more about me than this ever could.

Currently researching TelePrompTer cable TV - Prescott, Max Porter from KTAR and other early Phoenix radio and TV history.

     I have been blessed with the most wonderful career one could hope to enjoy, beginning in the classified advertising department of the Arizona Republic/Phoenix Gazette in 1968 – two days after graduating from Mesa High.  I was promoted to Bill Shover’s department (Community & Corporate Services) eight months later. Little did I know my life and career direction would change forever. In addition to Shover, I had the privilege and good fortune to learn from and work with incredibly talented and creative pros like Pat Poulson, Bob Bulla, Jackie Pettycrew. 
     I joined the Phoenix Junior Ad Club by 1970 and, in 1972, was elected the first woman president. I went on to serve as the District 12 Governor, Ad 2 Western Region Chair and then Ad 2 National Chair (all incredible experiences). 
     In 1982, I joined Channel 10 (CBS) and started their Community Relations Department. Thanks always to Bill Miller for making possible that move into broadcast. I followed Bill, Phil Alvidrez, Dennis O’Neill, David Miller, Tom Heidinger to 3TV (ABC) in September, 1986. 
     To go from working with the absolute best in the newspaper business to the absolute best in broadcast … well, it just doesn’t get any better than that. We formed the Community Relations Department at 3TV, presenting another exciting new world of blessings and opportunities. 
     I left 3TV in 2004 and worked with Bill and his team at MagicDust Television as a producer for NASCAR Angels, a nationally-syndicated reality show, traveling the country for four years on a whole new adventure. 
     This year marks my 31st anniversary on The Salvation Army’s Phoenix Advisory Board and my 16th year on their National Advisory Board. I volunteer full-time for the Army but am always open to consulting and special projects. 
     My husband Rex has two daughters and I am Grandmar to five really special grandkids. I am grateful that my sweet Mom still cheers and supports my every move … and I am forever grateful to Shover, Pat, Bill and so many others who have not only shown me the way, but continue to support me with every step, even today.

CAROLE KANN
THOSE WERE THE DAYS, MY FRIEND... 
     The windy city of Chicago...is an understatement to Carole Kann because her first venture into the ad business was, in fact, on the notably windiest corner in the world...Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive. Kann's job description was that of assistant at a radio station to the disc jockeys and newsmen. Incredibly, two of the jocks were the cities most popular: the Jesse Owens of Olympic fame and Marty Faye...the Howard Stern of the day. It was a fast-paced celebrity-filled party everyday but it soon became apparent that in a job like this she would most likely never have an opportunity to advance in the career she really wanted. Soon, she was offered a job at a well-known ad agency...and cut her new advertising teeth on accounts like Budget-Rent-Car owned by founders Jules Lederer and his then wife, Ann Landers. Mercury Records was another account she was assigned to and met performers such as The Chad Mitchell Trio, managed at that time by Ken Kragen...who later...with Bob Geldorf…co-founded "We Are the World". What an amazing introduction into the the world of Marshall Mcluhan. Kann soon found out, however it wasn't all Martinis and Media...it was hard work and creativity...because without it...there would always be wolves at the door waiting to whisk your clients away. 
     Upon moving to Phoenix...she was introduced to Allen Reed by Tal Walker...he told her Reed was the hardest working man in the industry and if she wanted to learn it all...he was the man to work for...and so she did. During her interview, she shared with Reed that she wanted to own an agency one day...he responded..."you're hired...go for it". She credits people like Ray Lindstrom, Ron Croft, Bill Gately, Ray Odom and Jack Block for helping her learn to efficiently and wisely buy time. Maurie Helle was of enormous help showing Carole the ropes regarding production and direction for her many clients, First National Bank, Hallcraft Homes, Charlie Rossie Ford and Owens Corning to name a few. Local resident and struggling artist, Nick Nolte was her favorite and frequent talent pick…and we all know the rest is history! 
     Being fortunate to have had caring mentors in her career Carole felt that she wanted to pay it forward by hiring staff members even if they had little experience. She taught and helped them advance; after all, someone had to take a chance on them and afford them the opportunities she had enjoyed. 
   Eventually, Carole became partners with Reed (Reed Kann Advertising)...later buying him out and continuing as Carole Kann & Associates. Expansion and many more accounts later...Kann became involved with many charities...chairing the American Cancer Society's marketing committee...Robert Redford's pet charity benefitting the Hopi Nation, United Way's Special events committee..Phoenix Symphony Marketing board...as well as being fortunate enough to work with many other celebrities as talent or with them on other charity events. Can you believe, even Arthur Godfrey???? 
     Carole believes that anyone who was in the business during that time was so lucky as she believes there never was or never will be another time like it ever again. Perhaps a little like Mad Men.....with a difference...we really all liked each other then...and now continue to show our affection for one another through our annual Survivor's reunions. 
     Kann states…”being one of the three founders of the Survivors is perhaps one of the best contributions I have made in my career as so much love fills the reunion venue each year”. She looks forward to joining in the festivities as often as she can get back to the Valley. 
     Now living in Palm Desert and San Diego...Carole will always call Phoenix home...home to so many fond memories and loving friends. 
"Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end".

Sorry to report that Carole passed away May 6, 2022. Obit

she writes...
In 1962, I was a Phoenix College student looking for a job. I was naïve and inexperienced but determined to learn everything books had to offer.  Little did I know then that, within the next few years, my most valuable experiences would come not from books but from working with a team of professionals dedicated to the power of words and images. 

My first job in advertising was as a part-time receptionist at S. J. Kossack & Associates located on the 13th floor of the Guarantee Bank on Central Avenue. Don James was my boss. A year later, I started working for the Curran-Morton Advertising Agency as Ken Morton’s executive secretary. 
Although my responsibilities were more mundane than creative, I soon found that I was part of a hard-working team full of new ideas and projects for new clients. One of my responsibilities was to type the final draft of the sacrosanct Client Presentation.  Because the words were important, my job was to provide the content with the aesthetic appeal of a perfectly typed page with justified text of the left and right margins.

“How did this go?”  you ask. As Ken’s secretary, I had a new Selective II typewriter which was capable of correcting even the most egregious of errors. Nevertheless, my task was clear: create no errors.  This was, of course, a frightening thought since any error on my part meant starting each page over. Still, in time, I learned to type without errors.  Okay. Maybe this wasn’t always true, but I did learn three important lessons anyway: (1) always work to the best of your ability;  (2) learn to be patient when a client presentation is over 300 pages long; and (3) words and pictures tell important stories.



Most of all, I remember the client’s story and the people that told them. Fred Glimpse, an ad executive and copywriter, wrote the words for advertisements. Chuck Abbott put the stories on film. (By the way, Chuck was responsible for my one claim to fame when he hired me to appear in an Arizona Public Service commercial where I effortlessly flicked on a light switch).  Barry Wickcliffe and Holly Hill, artists, told stories by creating visual material by hand. Molly Shons and Marge Szegedi, radio and newspaper buyers, made sure the stories got to the right places. Still, in advertising, I found that going to work was more than—ah—just work.  It was also a fun place where friendships developed.  Barry and Holly kept a dart board on the art department’s wall for friendly competition. Molly kept the staff on their toes by creating quizzes on everything from history to English grammar.  In addition, Molly mentored me in literature by suggesting classics she felt everyone should read.  I will never forget her for her wisdom and kindness.  

In 1967, I left Phoenix, but not the lessons I learned about the importance of words.  In Dayton, Ohio, I graduated cum laude from Wright State University with a B.A. in English. In California, I earned a M.A. from California State University in reading. Later, I taught graduate students in crosscultural, language, and academic development. In 2001, I became an instructional specialist at Chaffey College where I created success centers for readers and writers who had their own stories to tell. I retired in 2013 and, today, I am tutoring first and second graders in reading.

Old Days for me began in around 1968, I was hired by Douglass Hoppe Stone the Creative Director of the new Advertising Agency A&M Associates in downtown Phoenix, located in The Towers. This was to be the advertising agency for the UHaul Corportion that was moving headquarters from Portland Oregon.

Doug was replaced by Wayne Lanford Creative Director, Duane Swanson was president of the agency. I was Assistant Art Director. The art department had 5 artists, Wayne Horne, Ray Stewart, Randy Irvine, Gary Roberts and myself. We set out to bring in outside accounts and were successful in landing KOY Radio Gary Edens President, WR Schultz & Associates, a land development company, & Legend City to name a few. I worked closely with all these accounts as art director.

A side tangent, about this time I met and married Bill Kirkpatrick, we had our wedding party at Legend City, Bill was manager of Legend City.


After 7 years at A&M I went to Bozell and Jacobs Advertising, Wally Butterworth was president of the agency at that time. I was Creative Director and our top clients were, 1st Interstate Bank of Arizona , Salt River Project, APS, & Legend City. While working here I became involved in video and TV commercials with KPHO TV then the top independent Television station owned by Meredith Corporation. 

There was a job opening at KPHO and I was hired by Ed Aiken as creative director. While at KPHO I was responsible for set design and art direction of TV shows and all the advertising associated with the station. Worked closely with all the directors and TV personalities of KPHO, Wallace and Ladmo, Rita Davenport, & The news crew. 

About this time I revived the defunct Phoenix Art Directors Club, as president we worked to bring in noted speakers and to honor outstanding advertising in the Phoenix community. A great place to meet and greet your contemporaries in the advertising world.

KPHO started experimenting with animation for the station logo and I went to Denver to explore moving logos for the station, fell in love with the design medium of animation. Found a creative Directors job for an animation corporation, Peters Production in San Diego California. I was responsible for TV broadcasting on-air identities and station print advertising for TV stations around the United States.

Life changes brought me back to Phoenix, to work for a short period of time, Patten Agency, & Subia Corporation and then back to my first love, TV and ABCs KTVK owned by the Mcfarland family. Was hired as creative director and worked there till I went out on my own as a freelance designer and animator working with Bruce Peterson Photography.

Retired and living in Washington, still free lancing now and then but mostly traveling and enjoying where I am in life, have to say being a part of the advertising world in the early stages of the 60s through 80s was a defining experience, I was very fortunate to have bosses who were willing to teach and encourage me.

I grew up in Tucson and my goal in life was to be a disc jockey. Lofty goal, huh? I did become one, working at many stations in town, and finally at the station I aspired to, the great Top 40 rocker KTKT. I also graduated from the University of Arizona with a business degree.

















 

In 1965 I transferred to KTKT’s sister station in Phoenix, KRUX, as a salesman and part time disc jockey. In 1968 greatness called. It was Jack Clifford at KTAR-TV, NBC, Channel 12. There I joined the sales dept. for 4 years and really learned the power of TV advertising which would be the basis of my media future.

Mac Jett and I started Lindstrom and Jett Advertising in 1972. We were famous for: 1. Putting Tex Earnhardt on the air the first time. 2. Doing the first commercials for Peter Piper Pizza. 3. Starting the famous “Starving Artists” type traveling art sales that we did for years throughout the US and eventually around the world.



















In 1980 I left the agency and teamed up with Nancy Marcum in a company called Media Arts, Intl.. Together we produced the first infomercials. Today it is a multi-billion dollar industry. We sold out to a NYSE firm in the late 1980s.

Involved in other media ventures,  I also became owner of several radio stations, TV programs, and newspapers. 

In 1993 Mac and I were partners again and  started a chain of watch and jewelry stores in casinos in Nevada. We owned what was known as the “World’s Largest Watch Store.” It got plenty of media attention and the national NBC Today Show broadcast live from our store in the spring and fall-good visuals for their “turn the clocks back and forward” stories. . Bill Geist did a special feature on us for The CBS Evening News and CBS Sunday Morning. 

In 2007 I retired and moved to Tucson, from whence I came. My hobbies include public speaking and creating various websites...of which this is one. 

I was honored by being inducted into the Arizona Broadcasters Assn Hall of Fame in 2014.

      After serving in the Navy started at ASU in 1964.  After a checkered time there eventually got a work study job at KAET running a camera for shows such as Thursday at Nine.   Then hired at KOOL-TV as a summer replacement and eventually full time in the production department under Maurie Helle.  Left there and helped formed Sooy-Brejtfus advertising.  Went on to wander the earth with various jobs as a dynamiter on an oil exploration crew in the Wyoming Rockies, part owner of a restaurant in Anchorage, Alaska.  While in Anchorage did a season with the Alaska Repatory Theater.  Great fun doing live theater.  Made my  way to Hollywood working rock and roll shows.  Was hired by Three Dog Night as a roadie in 1981 for their comeback tour.  After a year touring, worked on films at the American Film Institute.  Led to work as a grip on the first Terminator movie.  

     Television was still my first love and went to work as a stage manager at the Production Group on Vine street in Hollywood.  Involved in my first start up, The Cable Health Network where we did a half hour news show daily.

     This led to a varied career in Hollywood working on JEOPARDY! for five years as a second TD and still store operator.  Did lotsa local sports, Lakers, Kings etc.  Was senior field production manager for the Long Beach Grand Prix for fifteen years.  Three weeks every year of intense work for a five race weekend with a live production of the Sunday event.  Worked the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics for ABC-TV.  Was production manager for the US Olympic Festivals for BUD sports.

     As I say I had more fun than most in a career that has taken me all over the country and to Europe doing what I have enjoyed so much.  Currently I am retired and living in North Hollywood.

     Lou Boudreau opened an ad agency, Boudreau & Associates, in the early 80's after a brief stint with Sandy Cowen and a couple years with J&T/FCB and WFC Advertising. Two largest accounts at Boudreau & Associates were Childress Buick and Lennar Homes. 
     He got to work with Phoenix broadcast legend Pat McMahon on many Lennar campaigns. Also he did some project work for the Phoenix-based SkyMall Catalog developing into a full-time position in 2001. 
     Lou spent the next 14 years as their Director of Sales & Branding, reporting directly to SkyMall's President. During that time, he helped in the transformation of the SkyMall Catalog into more of a consumer magazine that, at its peak, was distributed on 10 major airlines with 20 million copies printed quarterly reaching an audience of over 650 million.  As airlines merged creating their own magazines and the majority of the in-flight audience moved to laptops, SkyMall ceased publishing and Lou retired.
     He now spends time with his family and is on a golf course every chance he gets. Recently wrote a book "Going Into My Ninth Inning" available on Amazon.
