KWBG Memories

     Larry Lindmark, BHS-63, wrote, "in the early 60's, KWBG had a promotional jingle that went like this, "K-W-B-G has fun, that's why we're number one." It seems there was a second line and then it concluded with,"K-W-B-G." Do you remember more words to the jingle and how many years it might have been used? Also, there was a morning quiz question sponsored by Linderblood Bottling Co.. The quiz winner received a six pack of Coke. It was always fun to see if the winner was someone we knew. Any idea how many years the quiz question was used?"
     Larry, you've got the Kornerman stumped on the jingle. Don't remember that at all and I was working there at the time.........$85 big ones a week........just back from my Army  time. I do, of course, remember Quiz Biz. I  hosted that many times.
