| Gerald Lostutter provides photos of the WLOF/WCOT building. Gerald writes; "...Jeff Steele, also an alumni of WCOT and later radio engineer, provided an opportunity for Dave Jones and I to tour the old (WLOF/WCOT) studios, circa 1997. Dave and I decided to paint a tribute to the legacy of WLOF. Our tribute, a repainting of the WLOF logo, appeared on the studio's exterior wall..." | |
