[BC] Terrestrial Radio fights back

[Milton R. Holladay Jr.]

Two questions:
1] For years, I heard stories that John R was from my home town, but could
never pin it down. So, A] Where was he from, and B] what was the R for ?
2] (trivia) A] What was HossMan Allen's theme song, and B] Who wrote and
performed it ?
