KRLI

Shirley Temple passed away today at the age of 85.  She began her career at 3 years old and was a child superstar throughout the 1930s.  She later became a diplomat, serving as the United States ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.  Nicknamed "Curly Top," she was best known for a string of successful movies including Bright Eyes, Poor Little Rich Girl and Wee Willie Winkie.  Temple worked on radio starring in Shirley Temple Time alongside notables such as Lionel Barrymore and Humphrey Bogart.  She was also a commercial spokesperson for Grunow Teledial radios.

I wonder if Temple knew that a station in Malta Bend, Missouri used her likeness to promote their station?  KRLI "Curly 103.9" was an MOR/Oldies station in the early 2000s.  It appears that they now carry a Country format.

From the late 1990s until the mid-2000s KRLI broadcast at 97.5 FM.

KJTH

Back in August we broke ground on what would become our new house.  It's a really nice lot located at the end of a cul-de-sac that backs up to a park owned by the city of Englewood, Ohio.  We were fortunate to get the land and later found out that our new neighbors wanted the same piece of property.

From the end of summer through the beginning of winter we would visit the construction site daily and keep track of the progress.  It was exciting to see it being built but stressful at times because of all the decisions that needed to be made (not to mention the $$$ being spent.)

Finally (!) the house is finished and we moved in today, January 26th, 2014.  We (and the dogs) won't have a yard or fence until spring but the residence itself is perfect.  Home sweet home!
