I remember when WMUR was located on Elm street across from NH insurance.

Every day at 4:30 Uncle Gus (Brenier) would have the Uncle Gus show for the local kiddies. I won the most freckles contest and my brother won at simon says! Uncle Gus would play games and show Popeye cartoons until 5 PM. He would then run into the bathroom, take off his Uncle Gus hat and put on a clip-on tie and coat to read the five PM news. During station break he would run back into the bathroom to take off the jacket and tie and put on his Atlantic Red Ball gas station hat and be the Atlantic Red Ball weather man. He has already gotten the weather dope from Don Kent in Boston.

So let's not be so critical. Rember, Uncle Gus is watching you....

PS. I delivered the Union Leader to them and they tipped me 50 cents a week. Big money in the 60s.
