I retired from the Air Force in 1989 and moved to Seattle, Washington and got a overnight gig at  KJR a Oldies station. A few months later I got a job working in Saudi Arabia. Stayed there for 3 years and came back to the states to go to college.

My second stint at KICA was a few years later, (when I came back from working in Saudi Arabia in 1993 the first time and going to college at Eastern New Mexico University) this time it was on KICA FM the classic rock station.

One of my biggest thrills about working at KICA FM  was Clovis held the "Clovis Music Festival."  This festival originally was held in Lubbock, Texas, and it was called "The Buddy Holly Days" the home of Buddy Holly, but Lubbock sort of let of go down hill so the city of Clovis took over since Buddy and a lot of other bands recorded at the fame Norman Petty studio on Clovis back in the day. I was the Guest M.C. for The Association, this particular year ..what a awsome experience that was..I made the band sign my Assocation CD or told them they had to walk back to Amarillo..I thought it was funny, the guys in The Association didn't!! :)

While I was attending Eastern New Mexico University, a new campus radio station was built from the ground up. Now it wasn't a 50,000 watt station BUT it was run by Communication/Radio students. Which was unusal because not to many campus radio stations are manned by students. And one unique thing we did was to broadcast Greyhound football home games that year. I produced in the station. MAN what a great time that was. ENMU is a great place if you want to get into radio or TV.
