Featured in the center of the photo is the plaque
which was presented to Mary when Jim Reeves was inducted into
the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville in 1967. This plaque
is also courtesy of Mr. Newberry. One of the unique aspects of
the new display is the button you can push (on left of plaque)
that enables you to hear a tape (courtesy of Tom Perryman) of
Jim actually announcing on KGRI back in his radio days. Note
photo that shows a billboard that used to promote the station
as "the radio home of Jim Reeves." Upper right features
a snapshot of Jim with his business partner, Tom Perryman, who
later co-owned the station with Jim. |
