TO THE MCINTYRE "BOZO'S" FAMILY:
I ENJOYED WATCHING HIM AS A CHILD, I WISH MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE EXPERIENCED HIS UNIQUE BRAND OF ENTERTAINMENT. IN MY OPINION, WE NEED A LITTLE MORE OF THAT THESE DAYS. GOD BE WITH YOU ALL AT THIS TIME.

In the seventies and eighties I constructed employment test for Jefferson county.Some of these test were oral directions tests which were recorded.I needed a voice that was both trained and well known.I called ward and explained what I needed and he replied"when are we going to do it" I am ready.He loved recording those tests and never asked for a penny.After we would finish recording we would spend hours talking about the good old days of radio in B'ham.Everytime we gave one of his test,as...

I loved Ward McIntyre.
I first met him when he was in "Bozo" mode at Children's Hospital I had my tonsils out and he said "Bless her heart"...I reminded him of that years later when he worked at WAQY on Sunday afternoons and EVERY Sunday played "The Shelter of Your Arms" by the Lettermen for me.
The world is a little less crowded now but who needed the room????
I hope Tommy is at the gate to meet you !!!!
