Wilkes Barre Area School Board member and former educator Joe Caffrey was one of thousands of people in NEPA that grew up on WARM Radio. Like many, Caffrey collected those very popular WARM survey sheets.
Joe mentioned the other day that his father actually worked for the Llewellyn & McKane Printers in Wilkes Barre. That company printed up those surveys and Joe's dad worked there. His dad, knowing how much Joe liked the Mighty 590 usually gave his son a survey before it hit the stores! 
So the young Caffrey actually had the sheet in hand as Ron Allen conducted the 1pm to 6pm Saturday afternoon Countdown show while the rest of us were scrambling to pick up our own copy.
Or worse yet, waiting for Monday to get it!
Another great 590 Forever Mighty Memory. 
Thanks Joe for sharing and letting me tell the story.
