Summary:Box 6 Folder 6: "Ok, we move along to Box 6… is that going to be terrible if I say that, no, ok… we’re going? Folder 6. A number of things in here. There is a series of commercials, copy sheets for commercials. It’s all from about 1971. 1970 and ‘71. Continuity sheets. There is a statement from Jimmy Jones the engineer, chief engineer, a statement that he swears that he holds a first class radio telephone operator license and that he has had that for twenty six years, signed by Jimmy or James Jones. There are little memos as to when various broadcasters will be in at WJLD, when their shifts were and some instructions from the music director, Bob Shivers, the program director, Willie McKinstry, and the general manager, George Johnston III, as to programming decisions on how records were to be played. It also looks to me that Johnston is cracking down on Jimmy Lawson. Forbidding platter party announcements. No records in the studio during his shift. All on carts. There are some notes which I would think would refer to this memo by Shivers, McKinstry, and Johnston as well. And that, this handwritten note is in George Johnston’s handwriting. From the WJLD files."
