KSTN 1420 Radio
Staff Promotional Photos
Undated
An undated series of
photographs from Stockton's KSTN (1420 AM), presumed to be part of a
homemade promotional package put together in the late 1950s or early
1960s. The captions for the photos are taken verbatim, with every
ellipsis (...) in place, directly from the album pages.

Ellis Lind
... news editor and for ten years, Stockton's favorite early
morning disc jockey. Smiling Ellis makes waking up in the morning
a pleasure with his folksy reminders of time ... temperature and
easy-to-listen-to music. His on-the-go news stories range from the
human interest to the human tragedy ... but wherever he goes ...
everybody knows, listens to and likes ... Ellis Lind. |

Stockton. |

NOTE
ON PHOTOS: These six photographs were mounted on what appears to be
standard 8-1/2x11" photo album pages, three-hole punched, with a
short typewritten description as accompaniment. Lind and Hufman appeared
on one page together, with Condrey and Jones together on another page.
Rinker and Baker each appeared alone on separate pages. Only Baker's
page included any flourishes, having had a cowboy caricature -- hat,
bandana, pistol and gun belt, as well as what may be a single spur --
hand-drawn in red pencil. Baker had fronted a Western music outfit known
as Coy Baker & The Desert Stars, which had the distinction of opening
for Johnny Cash in Tulare in 1956; Baker also hosted an
eponymous TV show in Bakersfield as far back as 1956.
Ellis
Lind hosted KSTN's "Three Alarm" program as early as 1951, and
served as the station's program director in the late 1950s.
