Subject: The Wolf Man Jack book

Harvey is correct about the title.

I read it several years ago on cassette.

I thought I had seen it listed in the digital books, but I cannot 
find
it on the site, nor do I find any references to him when I search 
the
collection.

Anyway, he writes about how he took over the programming of XERF 
while
still working in Shreveport, LA.  He also gives a brief, 
non-technical
description of the transmitter site.

XERB was the station south of Los Angeles where he also worked 
later.
He talks about that one too.

But it was XERF that put him on the map as far away as Siberia.

He died in his driveway coming home from the first promotion tour 
for
that book.
