Anyone here recall ever hearing Ron laugh. I can’t remember if that ever occurred on air. It must have at some point. Nothing jumps into my mind on that. I’m sure he thought he was funny but nobody else was. Can anyone enlighten me. Good question. He certainly regaled us with tales of yore that wer...

WPON has been airing promos about the tribute show tomorrow. It will be open line.

Will it be with no or limited commercial interruption? Sponsored by the Ford Motor Company?

I hope Martin starts the show with Ron saying, “I hear an echo.”

Wish list for Friday: Guest appearances by at least Bob Page and Alex Alway. Calls from as many regulars as possible. It wouldn't be a Ron Cameron show without ads, so recordings of Ron reading ads for his most enduring sponsors—Fenton Hotel and Southfield Ram's Horn. Some kind of montage of Ron, i...

Friday night, when I was trying to process the news of Ron's death Since I can no longer think of the JFK assassination without thinking of Ron's "involvement," as I process Ron's passing I think of the conversation a Kennedy administration official - & future Senator - Daniel Patrick Moynihan had ...

My response to Ron while 'gentlemanly" (thanks for the compliment) was also practical. Long time listeners may also recall the time when I told him that WDTK was not posting podcasts of his show, with his refusal to believe my statement. I learned then not to bother trying to correct him. Yeah, the...

Regarding my "archives:" I recorded many of Ron's shows directly off WPON's and WDTK's streams. I have also recorded many (if not all) of the podcasts from WDTK, plus other sites that have old Ron recordings. I have downloaded (if that's the right term) them in my Apple Music library. Can someone s...

Also Ron's memory was faulty, but I didn't bother to correct him when we spoke on the air

Always the gentleman, Frank. Unlike those of us who were not so inclined ... & have the scars to prove it!

I just now heard of Mr. Cameron's passing. Prayers to his family and friends. I quit opening this thread when one of you started waiting for him in a library parking lot every weekend. I'm actually old enough to remember Page and Cameron on their show, The gentleman was a fountain of sports knowled...

Another flashback memory of Ron Cameron: When I was working in a drugstore in Grosse Pointe Farms in the late 1970's/early 80's, Ron came in a few times. After the Detroit Free Press Marathon in (I believe) 1979 he told us that he had run in the race, but did not finish. He spoke of wanting to fini...

In my "archives" is the June 19, 2022 show with Jim Kaat as a guest in the second hour. Great! In the aftermath of the Kaat interview, I remember the many members of listening audience stopping Ron in the street to commend him on the show. :blink Mention of the word "archives" reminds me of the sto...

I'm getting strong Rosie Ruiz vibes, Frank.

I wonder and hope-some of Ron’s past guests and people he knows call in. Would be interesting to hear there stories. I am sure the best of clips will bring back some fun memories. I wonder if the show on Friday could have some bonus time into the AA show Anyone speak to Mr Positive? Hope he is ok, ...
