Bruce Durham from Indiana

Post by jeff reynolds »

Anyone know if this guy is still kicking? I was told last night he is in Indiana. He worked with some guys in Jackson Ms. wayback in the Day ... about 1976 or so.
Im not sure I have the spelling correct on his last name.
Thanks for your help.

I checked with my friend Bernie Waldon, who is from Indianapolis and an ex WIRE DJ, and he has never heard of him.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jack Stoner on 29 September 2005 at 11:14 AM.]</p></FONT>
