A recent article in the Pharos-Tribune celebrates 60 years of a radio station in Logansport, IN:
WSAL, which stands for “Station At Logansport”, earned the nickname “Our gal Sal” and it’s a nickname that has stuck over the years.
The station went on the air on Feb. 24, 1949, and was issued a license from the FCC on April 26, 1949.
Originally housed in the basement of a home on Main Street, the station moved to 619 Main Street, next to the home, and stayed there until moving to its present home at 425 Second St. in 1999.
Tiny Joe Jordan was WSAL’s first station manager and he remained there until he died in January 1951. R.W. Baker took over from Jordan, according to a 1954 edition of “Air Pockets,” a radio publication.
Tiny Joe is my grandfather who died when my dad was still young. It’s exciting to see his name in the news!
Several weeks ago, we put up a basketball goal at Jeanette’s folks place. She found it at a garage sale!!

| 2008.06.07 Fishing Derby |
Our neighborhood hosted a fishing derby and Brittany won the overall biggest fish category! Each of the kids won some category and I even won a prize for the biggest bass. Jeanette’s fish was the biggest perceived size when measured by camera pixels, but it was really the smallest!!! Sorry, Jeanette – nice try, though! (Click the album above to see more pictures…)
