It was about September 1955. I had just got out of active duty with the Army. As a mechanic, I took a job at a local service station on Main and La Salle. I had been listening to the Hound but did not know what he looked like. A gentleman would stop in for gasoline and became somewhat of a regular customer. I would chat with him while I was servicing his car. As I remember it was a new ford convertible. One day I asked him if he worked around the area since he stopped in so many times. He was always dressed nice and I thought he worked in an office or the like. He told me he was heading to the station. I thought maybe he was a detective or worked at the fire hall. I asked him what station he worked at and he said the radio station. ( That is when WKBW was on Main St.)He said I have a radio show. I said, You Do! what show do you have. This is when I almost fell over. My name is George Lorenz and I do a show I call the Hound Dog. It has been since then and continues to be one of my greatest memories of when I knew The Hound.
