Old Seattle Radio Saturday: pat & lan in hawaii, 1976

Watch Pat O’Day and the late Lan Roberts on King 5’s Seattle Today with Cliff Lenz and Shirley Hudson broadcasting from Honolulu in 1976. The radio guys virtually take over the show, a locally-produced daytime teevee staple from the 70s to the early 90s.

Whatever happened to Cliff Lenz?? Google didn't produce anything current.

According to this link, Cliff Lenz became a music publisher. I haven't found what he publishes, though: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/entertainment/2003638439_bestbets28n.html

Thanks!

I recently saw Pat O'Day at an event and was surprised that someone who touts abstinance of alcohol by disciplined treatment apparently can't apply it to himself in regard to smoking. He smokes like a chimney.

Time does cloud memory. I don't remember Shirley Hudson as being such a hottie. What ever happened to her.

[sparky]

A realtor at Windemere??

[joanie]

Sure brings back memories. I was lucky enough to be part of a small group invited to a party given by Cliff many,many years ago. He was as kind and authentic in person as on air. Also, he started out as I recall in Seattle radio at a small oldies station called KUUU. Anybody remember those call letters? Seems like they were at the end of the dial.

I think Bill Rice was the news guy there as well.

BTW, Cliff was a talented musician himself. Piano if I recall correctly. I wonder if he composed? A talented, intelligent and attractive man.

"I recently saw Pat O'Day at an event and was surprised that someone who touts abstinance of alcohol by disciplined treatment apparently can't apply it to himself in regard to smoking. He smokes like a chimney."

Schick-Schadel treatment has nothing to with "discipline." It's so-called "aversion therapy." It's a lucrative but not very effective treatment whose business plan depends upon repeated visits by those who can afford them. O'Day has a major piece of it.

[Pat]

Does not one have to be somewhat disciplined just to commit oneself to the program of aversion therapy. Think so there Eienstein, but thanks for your contribution even tho you don't know what TF your talking about.

[Mark C.]

Motivation to change perhaps, but discipline isn't part of it.

http://www.psychologistworld.com/behavior/aversiontherapy.php
Patients undergoing aversion therapy are made to think of the undesirable experience that they enjoy, for example, a violent person might be shown images of violent crime, or an alcoholic might be made to drink, while drugs or electric shocks are administered. In theory, the patient will, over time, come to associate their addiction with the negativity of electric shocks or seizures.

Lan Roberts was so skinny way before he got cancer.

[Tad]

I was struck by how thin he was, too. Being that thin isn't an advantage when you get sick.

[Sampson]

You can NEVER be too rich, too tan or too thin.

[DickClarke]

You'd also think that knowing and befriending Lan for so long that O'Day would heed Roberts's last years preaching of the downside of smoking. Lan, as many of you may recall devoted much time to that cause.

[Super Model]

Too thin = DEAD. Now that's smart.

[TommyOate]

Sorry Bla'M, didn't mean to offend any one - guess some can give but not take. Any way, got the hint. [smile]

God bless Dr. Bill! To listen to him mentoring the young 10 year old Tyler was incredibly inspirational.

This is a man that needs to be heard.

I request Mr. Hood do a piece on the incredible insight, intelligence and plain 'ole good American common sense. What a great American!

Jesus 35 years ago these guys looked like broken down old men. No wonder not many of them are left.
