Of course, Fred is as well known as anyone in LA for his TV work. A rare combination indeed in any radio station.I thought we did a pretty good job on the air, some local and some national programming, and good name talent like James Brown and the SEC honk Tim Brando nationally.We picked up Fred Roggin for his radio show very early on. The sales people got along with the air talent who got along with management. Kurt Kretzchmar, a big Bruin, was the PD, but was very supportive of USC during his tenure there and very supportive of having me there, and, as he promised would be the case, made me one of the premier voices of the station's early days. Outside the studio a party was going on to welcome the new station into the world.Nancy Cole was the GM, and I have only worked for one or two others in my entire career whom I can say was as good a boss as ever there was to work for. Our first show was in studios barely finished on a Tuesday night doing USC Insider. On AugI began a long stay at our new (now old) home at 1540 KMPC in Santa Monica. That turned out to be about 2/3 of my yearly salary, and a great part of the original contract.So we drove across country, landing back in So Cal in early August of '01. One of the things that had to be in place for me to even be ABLE to consider it was that along with the play by play duties, I would have a regular job at the USC flagship station. My response was very swift as you might imagine, and within a couple of weeks, it was a done deal. (At least you can stay in shape doing that, right?)Then, Brian Kennedy called out of the blue and asked if I might be interested in coming back home to be the voice of the Trojans again. Maybe teaching, or coaching full time, even considered being a postal carrier. Pete Arbogast (Photo: )**I was sitting in Cincinnati in early 2001 trying to figure out what to do with my life….the Bengals had just switched radio outlets and the new station had their own guy they wanted to use, so they paid me off for the final year of my contract, and sent me walking, but of course with no offer of moving me back to LA after I had uprooted the entire family four years prior.I felt pretty low, and was trying to find a new direction. I think I will run a 5K Sunday in Santa Monica. The half marathon behind me now, and my legs no longer dangling helplessly below my waist, I ran a good strong two miles Tuesday and another reasonable three miles yesterday.
