I was in a Little Theater play with Jim 32 years ago.
I enjoyed working with Jim back in the late-70s on K-Hit! He worked with Jack Comfort and Willa Sandmeyer as well...both wonderful people and broadcasters. I still hear Jim on the air occasionally! Hi Jim!
Jim Bock was a fellow student at LH Bates Voc-Tech/Tacoma in the early 70s.He had talent and was one that had the work ethic to help him become a successful long-term broadcaster.
