I was thrilled when Gerry Wilkinson decided to start a website devoted to the "old" WRTI. After all, I was privileged to have been
there for two out of three of what I feel were the station's best years: 1965-66 through 1967-68. I also had the bittersweet distinction
of being station manager (1968-69) when the station moved to Annenberg Hall in the Fall of 1968, but the last student station
manager before WRTI-FM was changed to an all-jazz format, and WRTI-AM was silenced forever, in 1969.
I've harbored a great many wonderful memories over the ensuing years, and I've been fortunate enough to have been able to hang on to some tangible artifacts of those years. Whether you were there during those years, whether you were one of the pioneers who made them possible, whether you came later, or whether you simply stumbled upon this site by coincidence or curiosity, I am happy to be able to share them with you. (Thanks also to those WRTI friends who have provided additional material for this site.)

Special 1998 Reunion Production of Playhouse 90.1 -- QUESTING FOR CAMELOT
Over Memorial Day weekend of 1998, 27 WRTI alumni, along with family and friends - 55 people in all - gathered for the first ever WRTI reunion. The highlight of the afternoon was the taping of a brand new production of Playhouse 90.1. The script, entitled "QUESTING FOR CAMELOT," was written by Gerry Wilkinson from an idea suggested by Jerry Klein and developed by Gerry and his youngest daughter, Zara.
