My Grandfather, H.V. Chappelear was a good friend of Joe's
« on: September 12, 2009, 11:33:33 PM »
My grandfather used to take me over to Joe's house in the mornings to watch him broadcast from the basement in his house on Southside (of Bham). We would also go down to the station on Bessemer Super Hwy some afternoons, and Joe would always greet us, push the button, the red light would come on, and you would greet Joe and it went out over the airwaves. I was about 4 years old when I first met Joe and his family. When I was in the second grade, we went to the Coca-Cola bottling plant across the Hwy on a field trip and then to the radio station. Joe was on the air, and when we (the whole class) got settled in, I waved at Joe and got a special greeting on the air and really thought I was something special. That's the way Joe made everyone feel. I bought a lot of records from Rumore's Record Rack. I have often wondered what ever happened to his family, especially his children with whom I played with at a very young age. I'm now 54 and I am so glad to have known Joe. In a shadow box I built, full of music "stuff", I still have a gold ink pen with "Joe Rumore Shows  -  WVOK 690" printed on it. It's a centerpiece for the shadowbox.

 I just joined tonight and I'm so glad I did, especially when there are such nice posts such as this one. It makes me very proud to say that Joe was my grandfather! I wasn't around yet while he was still on the air, but I can answer you about his children. Three of the four are still living, including my mother, and are doing well. It is amazing to me that so many people still care after so many years have passed! I hope that continues, as he deserves it for being such a great person!

the manipulation of state affairs by the prime minister Dong Zhuo towards the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) aroused strong anger in people, but nobody dared to air it. Upright ministers wanted to but failed to think of a way to get rid of him. Deep at night and alone in his garden, Wang Yun, a minister, sighed at these worries, his teaful eyes cast up at the moon. Suddenly, he heard a sigh from the pavilion nearby.

 He went over to see Diao Chan,World of Warcraft power leveling the sixteen-year-old, very beautiful singsong girl in his family. Upon enquiry, the girl went down on her knees and said, “Your excellency has treated me so nice after Icame. How could I repay your kindness? Ihave noticed your knitted eyebrows, You must have big worries that Idare not ask. Isighed, because Iwish Icould help you in some way.”
  Who could believe, thought Wang that the destiny of the Han Dynasty lies in this girl's hand. He helped the girl up, then he himself prostrated and kowtowed to her. “Why do you bow to me?” the puzzled girl asked. She repeated her offer to help in any way.

  Convinced of her resolüte attitude,last chaos gold Wang Yun was straightforward: “Both Dong Zhuo and his stepson Lü Bu love women. I'll take you as my step daughter, then I'll betroth you to Lü Bu before I present you as a gift to Dong Zhuo. You will seek opportunities to sow discord between them and make Lü kill Dong. In this way we can preserve the Han Dynasty.” “If I fail to do as you say,” she vowed, “I will die a violent death.”

 These were the interlocking stratagems laid by Wang Yun and Diao Chan Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and finally succeeded in inviting Zhuge Liang to be his military adviser. aoc power levelingYet his sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, did not take Zhuge seriously. Before long, Cao Cao dispatched an army of 100,000 to attack Liu Bei's headquarters at Xinye. Cao's troops were at the command of General Xiahou Chun. When Liu Bei turned to Zhuge Liang for advice, Zhuge said: “Ihave to borrow your majesty's sword of authority in that I am f/afraid that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not listen to me.” Liu lost no time in lending his sword of authority to Zhuge who then started to dispatch Liu's army for the defence.

Guan Ping, adopted son of Guan Yu and General Liu Feng were ordered to each guide 500 troops to wait behind the slope of Bowang. They would set fire to the enemy procession as soon as the enemy arrived at the slope. Zhuge recalled Zhao Yun from Fancheng to be the vanguard of Liu's army. But Zhao was ordered not to defeat the advancing enemy but rather pretend to be defeated. Liu Bei was given 1,000 troops as the back up force.

Those who disobey my orders will be executed.” Guan and Zhang had nothing more to say, but they walked away sneeringly.
