A Memo to Tommy from WOR-FM Program Director Sebastian Stone.

It says:

"Like the newspaper said you really sound fine.  I am extremely happy that you've found OR-FM to your liking
and that the atmosphere is conducive to your growth and creativity.

Your production and timing are superb and taste in music is eclectic and always relevant.

In fact, the only improvement I can suggest is an occasional "tougher" edge both from you and your music.
Since your style and taste is so refined , "just gettin' down and boogein" once in a while would
represent another facet of an already interesting personality

I count us fortunate to have you on the team.  Let's keep on growing together."
