[Kzyxtalk] KZYX Board meets to hire a new GM

[Kelly Grimes]

John,

Thank you for the run down and for all your work for change.
It sounds like we may have a good new GM (reading between the lines).
I can only hope!
sincerely,
Kelly
PS I think your show was all about money not Monday.  Hopefully it 
returns to KZYX whatever the name is.
