This was in the earliest days of KDKB, one evening when Dwight was doing his shift. There was considerable talk (in certain circles) at that time about legalizing marijuana. So, Dwight made an on-the-air call to the U.S. Customs station at Nogales, where lots of marijuana was being impounded at the international border crossing. A Customs official answered the phone, and Dwight suggested that "you guys could just hold on to 100 pounds of marijuana for me until it's legalized, and then I could come down and pay you for it." The Customs guy was flabbergasted, and he spluttered out some sort of an answer while barely controlling his own laughter. Finally he said that he would have to terminate the call "because this is an official phone." Dwight responded: "Oh, it's an official phone, is it? Hey, what color is it?" There was a click on the other end of the line, and that was the end of the conversation. (And if you don't believe me, I've got it all on tape!)<BR/><BR/>TomTom Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500489474089709179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11627588.post-1163696005285748212006-11-16T09:53:00.000-07:002006-11-16T09:53:00.000-07:00Thanks, Mariah.

I am DREAMING however of a Wake/Reunion in December around the 20th when my son can push me around in the walker and can leave college long enough to do it.<BR/><BR/>Regard this as just an IDEA. It's not even a RUMOR.

Ron even set up the pay pal link. <BR/><BR/>Ron has put incredible heart and effort into letting people know about Dwight. I hope you can come out for the memorial Ron. You mean a lot to SO many people.<BR/><BR/>The webmaster of Dwight's site emailed that he is also putting together a tribute and donation site Dwight's site. Amazing how many lives Dwight touched and how many want to pay tribute to him.<BR/><BR/>I have posted on the caringbridge site for people to go to the KCAC LIVES site; this is absolutely a great place to chronicle our memories. No reason not to do that in more than one place either;it's all about giving tribute and comfort to Dwight's family and many dear friends. <BR/><BR/>FYI www.caringbridge.org/visit/dwighttindleMariah Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10644396380599355666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11627588.post-1163628791603911442006-11-15T15:13:00.000-07:002006-11-15T15:13:00.000-07:00In 1973 Dwight and I did a road trip that was a cr...In 1973 Dwight and I did a road trip that was a cross between Route 66 and Easy Rider in his 72 Porche. <BR/><BR/>Our destination was Houston to help start the Pacifica non commmercial FM station there. We hooked up with Marty Manning and all the other radio folks. <BR/><BR/>We stopped to eat in a little Texas town and were looked at like we were Hopper and Fonda. There were comments about the Porche and "do they know where the barber shop is"?<BR/><BR/>A jock at KDKB mentioned on the air that he was filling in for a vacationing Dwight Tindle. As we arrived back in Phoenix we discovered that Dwight's house had been robbed.<BR/><BR/>Dwight took the situation in stride and never closed his doors to friends especially at the 4th of July and New Year's Eve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11627588.post-1163625098814432202006-11-15T14:11:00.000-07:002006-11-15T14:11:00.000-07:00Two memories, 30 years apart.1973: A friend and I ...Two memories, 30 years apart.<BR/><BR/>1973: A friend and I went down to KDKB one day (at the old brick building on Country Club south of Main in Mesa). No real purpose, and we didn't actually know anybody there, it just seemed like a cool place and we wanted to see it for ourselves. Dwight let us in, showed us around, chatted with us as he played records, and even let me borrow a couple of rare albums so I that could tape them myself. <BR/><BR/>2003: I had recently copied a bunch of my old KCAC/KDKB airchecks to CD, and I asked Dwight if he'd like to have copies. A few days later we got together at Restaurant Mexico in Tempe and had a great time talking about radio and music and life in general. I asked him if he remembered the incident from 1973, and he just chuckled and said that lots of people dropped by the station in those days, unannounced and uninvited, but that they were always welcomed as friends.<BR/><BR/>That pretty much sums up the man as I knew him: totally in love with music and always ready to make new friends.Tom Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500489474089709179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11627588.post-1163623274683540892006-11-15T13:41:00.000-07:002006-11-15T13:41:00.000-07:00I can't attend Dwight's Memorial so Sunday at 3pm ...I can't attend Dwight's Memorial so Sunday at 3pm Phoenix time I'm going to sit on the beach for an hour remembering him and all he made while he was here.<BR/><BR/>Then I thought, what if a bunch of us who can't attend do something similar? We spend an hour over coffee with our local friends all the time, surely finding an hour for focused reflection on Dwight should be doable. Besides, who among us wouldn't benefit from an hour of quiet?<BR/><BR/>When it's 3pm in Phoenix, what time is it where you are? If we do it all simultaneously, it might help us all collectively, "be there". Nest ce pas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
