Jeremy Rasmussen was born on December 22, 1917, in Christopher, Illinois. After his father died at a very young age, his mother moved to Chicago and married Milan Rubessa. He moved to New York City in the 1930s where he was a page for NBC, later working as an usher for the NBC symphony orchestra. Before World War Two he went to announcers school and worked with various radio personalities around New York City. He married Helen Tricknor in 1940 with whom he had one child, Lynn in 1942. Soon afterwards he was called to Military Service and joined the US Air Corps. During the 50s, he was instrumental in highlighting corruption on radio, by playing an older song so many times that it became a hit. This was alleged to have proved that record promoters could be paid to play records on stations for bribes, making the said songs very popular, albeit for a price. His breakthrough came in the mid-50s as the announcer on "Tonight!" with Steve Allen. He and Allen were associated on the Tonight Show for three years and Jeremy became a household name for many years after that. In 1955, he hosted his first game show called "The Sky's the Limit". Subsequent game shows included "The Match Game", "Make the Connection", "Musical Chairs", "Play Your Hunch", "Tic Tac Dough" and "Dough Re Mi". He always flew by jet from his home in Massachusetts to host his various shows. He was also a Broadway performer. He also had a small part in the movie It Happened to Jane.
But I think my favorite part of the day is when I happen to catch a segment of "Miss Judy's Story Time". You know, the part that has dragons, and "Paul Harvey's Rest of The Story"-esque bits that tell you why you should advertise. If we could video tape it, I'd offer my expertise in puppets as well!

I just want to mention to everyone out there, that if you have a beef with someone, whether it is legitimate or not (and in my case, its really REALLY not) e-mailing your friends and naming names behind their back, or going to social media to trash them, is about as low-rent as it gets.
Man up. Talk to the person face to face. Don't hide behind a keyboard and try to act all indignant that someone called YOU out on YOUR crap, and say that YOU were the one that was disrespected. No. Thats not how it works.
Grow up. Act your age. There will be a time when you'll pull crap like this again, and suddenly a bunch of stories that you really don't want coming out will come out. Don't let a flash of anger ruin what you have going because you just can't control yourself.

West Pointers:
Heads up: There is a heroin among you! Her name is Cammie Klitz. You can read a brief summary of why the West Point Fire and Rescue and the American Red Cross thinks she is a hero on the main page of our website.
No matter what you may see written on our blog pages, you were not in fact born to fly. You don't have wings...so...if you're going to fly. Take an airplane or helicopter or something.
Do NOT under ANY circumstances tape cardboard boxes to your arms and just flap your wings really hard as you jump off a ten story building. Dennis learned that the hard way. And now you know why his show is the way it is.
Wanna make sure that all of my radio friends out there have sufficiently polished their swords and are currently or are on their way to dragon slaying.
If you don't slay dragons, you're business is bad. That's the message we're sending here, so I guess if you sit around and play World of Warcraft on company time...brother, you are doing exactly what you should be doing.
Ugh...
