GREEK WEEKEND The snow had finally melted completely away, and a little while longer in Houlton we’d stay. Looking forward to the best weekend of all, Greeks and friends were gathering for a huge beer haul. The brothers and sisters were heaped into one, looking for a field to have some clean fun. It didn’t matter if there were clouds or sun, a huge party had already begun. The hillside was rolling in newly grown grass, and gave us a place to sit on our _ _ _!!! We gathered around to see Brother Stillings dressed in a sheet, the toga like wrap draped down to his feet. His head was adorned in a wreath of leaves, and his arms were naked and bare without sleeves. Quickly the beer was passed around and around, and many a brother passed out on the ground. The Schlitz, and the Schaeffer, and Gablingers too, gave nature a smell only of brew. Then echoes were heard of a Wales’ Tales shout, get it right, or else you would be out. Then off to the woods went a couple or two, can’t even imagine what they would DO!!! There was singing and dancing and drinking of beer, and nobody worried about finals so near. It was the last big fling before the end of the school year, so we did it up right with plenty of beer and good cheer. Now let’s raise a glass and propose a toast to the past, and to the memories that haunt us and will forever last!!! HAPPY SPRING!!!

Bada, Congratulations on the Springfield Hockey Hall of Fame. I'm trying to remember exactly what it was that Jimbo, Donnie and I did as your personel trainers to aide your rise to hockey stardom. Let's see? Was it helping you with studies? No, you never made the Deans list. Was it volunteering to skate with you so you could sharpen your skills, No, I couldn't stand up on skates. I know, it was probably keeping you out late the night before your games, making you imbibe in beverages that forced you to play with such a hangover that you had to reach deep and find skills you never knew you had

I have read this guestbook for quite awhile. I sent a message once and promptly received a few e-mails from people. It never ceases to amaze me that we love to reminice about our past. Ricker College certainly has memories for all of us. Why did we choose Ricker? For me it was the last option I had! Great decision though. I have lived in Maine most of the time after I graduated except for a few years in Houston. I occassionally run into people like Steve Hamilton, Gary Bor, Jeanne Phenney. No one lately though. I spend too much time away. Construction does that to you once in awhile. Currently covering New England, NY, & NJ, as well as the eastern 5 provinces in Canada. I probably have drien behind some of you, or even had a drink at a resturant or bar while you were there having dinner. Perhaps I will meet some of you someday soon. Was greatly saddened by Jerry S. passing. I used to travel and vacation in Florida. One of my favorite watering holes was Bare Bones in Stuart, FL. I was shocked to hear from Jerry, stating that he kept his boat in the marine in front of the place. So close, but so far. I stopped going to Florida shortly thereafter and never was able to connect. I like a lot of you can only smile when I think of him. Will continue to check this site out. It is great hearing some of the stories again, even to the point of remembering and being there. Tell me...where do you get the Ricker decals? What a trip to have it as well as the greek letters on a vehicle..especially at my (our) age.. Be good.

My best memories of WRNE are of waking up to Billy Binford's show with his alarm clock and then playing Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely". I still thing of Ricker and Bill whenever I hear that song. Dave H. had an great evening show that he ended with the Who's "This Song is Over". Boy, what memories!

Thanks for the correction - WRNE - I've been living in the Midwest too long where the "K's" start the call letters. Alan Weiner was the lightning rod that started the station. He was not a student at the time but was in Houlton because of his girlfriend Sara LeClair. She lived in East Hall and Alan was a radio fanatic with a history of setting up "pirate radio stations" in the New York area and then getting busted by the FCC. He started up the first station in Sara's room and it electified the campus, but months later the FCC moved in and shut him down again. There was an uproar on campus so everyone began working with the FCC to get a license. We got the license and Ricker funded the basic equiptment and we were in business. The station had two location, but I'm fuzzy on which came first. It was located on the top floor of the student union house on campus and also in a basement room in Akeley Hall. A console for two turntables and ampflifiers was built and I remember egg cartons on the cieling for soundproofing and carpeting on the walls. The station got lots of free sample new albums and had a decent collection, but most DJ's played their own stuff. Scratchy records and mikes left on while songs were playing, capturing so pretty funny conversations in the studio were common. Aside from a weekly music show, I did a talk show with Alan Weiner on Sunday mornings called "The Breakfast Show" where we had hot plates cooking eggs and bacon in the background and invited anyone to stop by for breakfast and to rap current events. All in all it was one of the best things we had in the 70's on campus.

Facsinating! Someone tell me more about the Ricker radio station. When did it start? How long did it last? When was it on? Weekends? Where was the studio? I was there from fall of '67 to winter of '72 and we only had WHOU, I think, sometimes they broadcast our basketball games and the only Ricker student I remember deejaying was Al Raffay??
