I knew they'd come for him sooner or later...

 

[Ddillard]

Men in black suits finally got the target.

Men in black suits finally got the target.

The question is: Who got him first? Guys in black suits or little green men? R.I.P.

 

[Gabriel]

I never heard of him or the radio show, but the replies have me curious.

He was a ham radio operator. I have talked to him several times. Nice to talk to. He lost his wife several years ago. So he is now with her. RIP Art

Must have been all the Krill oil supplements.

Late night radio. Ghosts, ancient aliens, bigfoot visits, that sort of thing.

 

[breakingcontact]

Man, listened to him when i was just a kid. I hope he was in a good place spiritually.

I worked early mornings at WIBC and Coast-to-Coast was the lead in to Indy's Morning News beginning at 5:00 a.m. That meant I would hear at least the last hour of it while prepping the news of the day.

It was really interesting when technical difficulties cut into the simulcast. A guy actually called into the newsroom to ask if somebody from the government had come to the station and unplugged his microphone for "telling the truth."

I said, "I can't think of any other conceivable scenario," and hung up.

Yeah, that sounds like it would have been interesting to say the least.

 

[rhino]

Let's be serious! It wasn't aliens, big foot, ghosts, or men in black. The shadow people finally got him.

I miss staying up late and listening to that show. Despite all of the crackpots it was entertaining

 

[KittySlayer]

If I closed my eyes while listening I could imagine I was in the trailer park waiting for the aliens to finish their probes.

He was an entertainer and will be missed. I'll also miss his entertaining callers.

$20 says somebody else will take the gig and the callers will still call.

 

[eldirector]

My wife is totally bummed. She has listened to Art for years.

But Art was able to take a call from someone who had their tinfoil hat too tightly wrap, engage them in conversation with a degree of respect, and not laugh or belittle them. Although the fact that Art probably had a tinfoil hat too helped.

Art hasn't been the host on CtC for sometime

CtC has been hosted by George Noory for quite a while now. He's not Art, but does a fair job.

Art hasn't been the host on CtC for sometime

Probably 10 years or more.
