Regarding the tribute show: In the spirit of certain transmissions of Ron, a "bathroom break" with the producer playing recorded music while the host relieves himself, as was the case on January 16, 2021 and May 22, 2022. (Best of luck Martin, I'm confident a fine show will broadcast on March 1st.)

My response to Ron while 'gentlemanly" (thanks for the compliment) was also practical. Long time listeners may also recall the time when I told him that WDTK was not posting podcasts of his show, with his refusal to believe my statement. I learned then not to bother trying to correct him.

Regarding Schettler's, indeed the location was across from Grosse Pointe High School/Grosse Pointe South High School (name depends on the date). Ron also made reference to a Subway's restaurant which was also in the vicinity of the corner of Maumee and Fisher. The former Subway's building is now use...

The drugstore (Kent Drugs) closed at the end of 1981. Theoretically Ron's pronouncement could have been in 1981, but don't think Ron was stopping by after his WXYZ-AM show was cancelled. Also Ron's memory was faulty, but I didn't bother to correct him when we spoke on the air: My store was at the co...

Regarding my "archives:" I recorded many of Ron's shows directly off WPON's and WDTK's streams. I have also recorded many (if not all) of the podcasts from WDTK, plus other sites that have old Ron recordings. I have downloaded (if that's the right term) them in my Apple Music library. Can someone sh...

In my "archives" is the June 19, 2022 show with Jim Kaat as a guest in the second hour.

Thanks anyway.

Another flashback memory of Ron Cameron: When I was working in a drugstore in Grosse Pointe Farms in the late 1970's/early 80's, Ron came in a few times. After the Detroit Free Press Marathon in (I believe) 1979 he told us that he had run in the race, but did not finish. He spoke of wanting to finis...

I have volunteered my services for Friday.

"Where are these tape coming from?" With an MP3 recorder I made the recordings either off the stream (WPON and WDTK) or from the podcasts (WDTK) plus what I could download from various websites.

I recorded Ron's interview with Bryan "Bugsy" Watson involving the restaurant business among other subjects, which occurred on January 23, 2021. Mr. Watson died less than six months later on July 8, 2021.

Regarding Ron's legacy as a restaurateur, from Wikipedia: "From 1981, Cameron tried different kinds of cuisine in restaurants that he usually owned for only a short period of time.[50] In 1993, Detroit Free Press TV/radio reporter Steve Crowe wrote that Cameron 'changed eatery locations more often t...

I'll never deal with my accountant again without thinking of Ron.

I too was puzzled by the Freep's reference to Ron being on WXYZ-TV. "Never say never," but I dare say any Channel 7 appearance by Mr. Cameron was minimal.

Thanks for playing "We Are The Champions." You're doing a fine tribute to Ron Cameron.
