We started our birthday show with a couple of recorded clips from the late Paul Nelson, KHOI's Chief Engineer when we went on the air telling us of the significance of Eric Weber, the engineer who actually routed the radio signal from the Pantorium to the Tower.  The rest of the show consisted of recollections from a number of people who were vital to programming in the early years of KHOI (and some of whom still are!) Tom Richards, the musician who contributed the theme music that starts each "Local Talk,": Cynthia McClure, who was on the thumb drive team that transported each day's shows out to the tower on thumb drives before we had our connection to the tower and who has since been producer for many of our most important shows; Paul Hertz, who revealed the secrets of the tower connection as well hosting some of the early music shows; Roger Berger, who told us about how we got our Sunday Opera show, as well as Morning Masterpieces; and Tom Beele, who described our signature event "the Pantorium Sessions.".
