Dedicated in memory of Jim Collins



Wally did afternoon news with Scott Carpenter in 1979/1980 while he was working at WZYQ in Frederick, MD (where he did morning news).

Wally writes:

Came across your website almost by accident while reading about the sad passing of Dean Griffith. Great site that brings back lots of fond memories.

Went to the "News Guys" page to check on some old friends, and lo-and-behold - -found my name from my brief stint at 'PGC. While there, I was "Wally Weaver", a name concocted by then 'PGC PD Scott Shannon. I continued to perform news duties at Z-104 in Frederick under my real name, Wally Hindes.

Shortly after, I followed Scott Carpenter to B104 in Baltimore, and spent four years there. Also spent time in Chicago, returned to Washington as News Director of WASH in the mid-80s,...and, eventually, moved to AP Broadcast in Washington, where I continue to oversee AP's audio products.

This is a great web site -- not only because I spent some time at PGC, but, since I went to high school in Fairfax, it brought back some great memories.
