Special to The Star
The classic, radio special "Remember When" in it's 208th chapter will feature two very heart warming stories on AM 1010 WMOX on Saturday from noon until 3 p.m., according to station manager, Bill Smith.
Carl Fitzgerald and the "Remember When" staff has chosen as the first presentation "The Max Burris Story," with Max Burris appearing live in the studio as Carl's special guest for approximately, the first half of the show. Burris came to make Meridian his home some 40 years ago, when he came in 1968 to become the distributor for Lance Foods, Inc. He retired from Lance a few years ago. Known by thousands of people as "Brother Max" he is a minister of music and has served in these capacities at the former State Boulevard Baptist Church and at Northcrest Baptist Church, where he served alongside the Rev. Dr. Malcolm Lewis (retired). "Brother Max" has retired from some of his duties at the minister of music, but still stays busy in his ministry with the senior adults in many areas. He has served at Northcrest for some 25 years. A few listeners will be able to call in and talk with "Brother Max" on the phone live Saturday at (601) 693-1010 or (601) 693-1891.
The last half of the show will feature, "A Kidney Transplant Story" with special guests, Elizabeth Ryan and Stanley Dean. Elizabeth Ryan is a special friend to Thelma and Carl Fitzgerald, and she handles our "Remember When" ads each month in The Meridian Star.
Elizabeth will tell her story of how it feels to be able to show your own father that "you love him," and that you are willing to "Give him life." Thelma Fitzgerald said, "Elizabeth's story has touched our lives and I believe it will touch yours." Noel Adcock is the music director for the show.
"Remember When" is a copyrighted feature of Carl Fitzgerald and is heard exclusively on WMOX.
