What the heck is the deal? I lost another friend today. A very good friend of mine didn't show up for work today, they went looking for her and...you can guess the rest. When I moved to St. Louis to work for the mighty KSHE95, one of the people who went out of their way to make me feel at home was Abby. We understood that we were a part of rock history in St. Louis. At the time, she worked for Irv Zuckerman at Contemporary Productions, the people who booked all of the rock shows, and since we were the ONLY rock station, we saw each other a lot. When the assistant promotion directors's job opened at KSHE, she was perfect. She is also responsible for sneaking me in the back door of KSHE the last go around. Fun, creative, excited, and a damn fine person, I am glad to be called one of her friends. If it is true you are judged by the company you keep, I am a blessed man. Thanks, Jim Marchyshyn for bringing her to KSHE, thanks Al, for the phone call (I think).RIP, Abby, gone at 45. Done too soon.
