Another link that gives more information on the WRC Washington, D.C.'s
News and Weather Team is a site maintained by Bob Bybee. We contacted
Bob and he wanted to put a few of Amy's pictures on his site that highlights
the careers of Williard Scott and Ed Walker, better known in the Washington,
D.C. area as The Joy Boys of Radio.
And yet another request to use Glen Rinker photos from Tim Tones, Cleveland, Ohio, for Three On the Town Blog. Tim says "This is Tim Lones. I was the one a few weeks ago to ask about using
pictures to your page featuring Amy's Dad, Glenn Rinker for my nostalgic
Cleveland TV/Radio blog. With a little assist from the Cleveland Public
Library, I finally got the post done. I used the "WKYC Sales Sheet" image
to illustrate the post and added a link to the "3 on the Town" page to my
list of links..Making sure you are credited, of course".

Glenn Rinker's bid for
the U.S. Congress, 1982 19th Congressional District, Florida.
1980 "The Shinning"

program on TV, a show anchored by Glenn Rinker in the Miami, Florida
area. As the camera slowly pulls back, an impassive, motionless Hallorann
watches the Miami-based TV broadcast (a report on the blizzard in the Rockies
that is affecting the Overlook Hotel) through his outstretched feet on
the bed. It is the off-season home of Dick Hallorann. As a shrill
squeak and a thunderous heartbeat rise in volume, his stony face changes
- his eyes widen and lift up with an aghaast look toward the ceiling. His
mouth opens and his face trembles. He registers horror to a "shining" vision
- danger and an SOS call for help possiblly communicated by Danny's psychic
telepathy:
