Some of the Claradell's happiest moments were spent working at KRNT Radio and KRNT-TV (CBS) in Des Moines, IA. I was known there as "Clari".
A fun assignment was to read the Sunday Funnies on radio.

and KRNT-Radio and TV (CBS affiliate where Claradell worked). Claradell had a 1962 VW Bug
and since 1972 has had a white VW Bug (in our garage today and desired by every VW mechanic).
My first radio gig was as a dj at Friley Hall, the largest mens' dorm in the U.S. (Iowa State/Ames).
