Dear Moe:

I cannot believe this morning's announcement. I am totally saddened by it. I plan my Saturday mornings around listening to your show. I hated it when it was cut back to 9:00 a.m. I have really enjoyed listening to you all the years you have been on wrko either as a host or fill in. I have especially enjoyed the talks with the folks in the armed services be it Iraq or the guy looking for baseball gloves or wherever else they may be calling from. I find it puts a real human face to the reality which is ignored by the media - that these are good people doing good things. I was looking forward to hearing about your meeting with the fellow who has recently returned.

How am I to get my amusing baseball fix . . . being a red sox fan it your comments (good or critical) pretty nearly matched mine, as do our political thoughts.

Hopefully some smart programming manager will snap you up within hours and you will be back on the airwaves soon.

Enjoy Florida.

Thanks for adding so much to my life - humor, insight, sharing the bad/sad/good news with me. I will miss you.

Dear Moe-
I normally am in my car driving from the Cape to Boston every Saturday morning and have listened to you for years. Today happened to be one Saturday when I stayed home. I happened to turn on the radio during the last few minutes of your signing off, just in time to get the drift of what was happening with you. I know that you are leaving WRKO, but missed all explanations regarding that. I hope more will be posted on your blog.I am so sorry that you will not be my driving companion on future Saturdays. It has been a pleasure to listen to someone not afraid or hesitant to speak his thoughts on the 'issues of the day.' Thanks for all your past shows. Looking forward to hearing you back on radio somewhere, sometime.

Moe what happened ??? will write later

I just heard you sign off the air and I'm in shock. I've been listening to you more years than I can remember. Loved your show, and I'm so sad over this latest wrinkle at WRKO. Thank you for keeping me very well informed on current events. Also for sharing your family and their doings your audience. All I can wish for you, your wife, children (now adults) and you grandchildren
is all the best life has to offer. May you all be wrapped safely in the arms of "The Almighty".
Bless you Moe, your a real gentleman,
Ellen, Hingham MA

Dear Moe,
I am very sorry to hear you are leaving wrko. I heard the last minute of your show this morning and was shocked and saddened to hear the news. I have always respected your intellect and your good old fashioned common sense. I don't understand the reason why you are leaving, but I wish you and your great family the best. I hope to hear you on the radio maybe somewhere else sometime soon.
Best of luck to you.

Hi Moe,
I was completely dumfounded by your announcement this morning. I had listened to most of the show except from about 8:00 to 8:45 and picked up no inkling of what was to come. My immediate response was to post a note to the SAVE WRKO website, which though I’m sure the station does not acknowledge, you know about it. I look forward to what other correspondents write. (http://www.savewrko.com/).As an avid talk show listener, I hope you know that you hosts really become friends and part of our days. In fact I mark the passage of time during the days and nights of the week not by a clock, but by who’s on, mostly on WRKO. The website mentioned above has let me correspond with others of such a mindset. We are not happy with the way things are going at WRKO, and I take your departure personally. You may be aware that your show has been discussed occasionally on the site, both favorably and critically, but always by people who do care about you and your fellow hosts.By way of identification, I have called your show a few times this past year (“long time, first time”), even just last week and I have sent some E-mails. I always proclaim myself your Number One Fan among Boston’s Bicycle Commuters.

Oh Moe,

Hi, Moe,
I only heard the last bit of your announcement that you're leaving WRKO. My husband and I are so sorry to learn that as we always enjoy listening to you. I don't know what's going on at that statiom . . .

Best wishes to you and Helen as you move forward to bigger and better things. If you can, tell us why you're going.

Moe,
I know you will be back on the air soon. I am a regular listener no matter what slot they have provided for you on AM radio. Don't know what WRKO is thinking but I'm sure it has to do with ratings and sponsors! I know a lot about this as I have a relative on WEEI. I will miss waking up on Saturday mornings and listening to your opinions about issues of the day and your great knowledge of sports. You and I don't always agree on issues but it is great to hear an opposite intelligent opinion of the issue. Makes people stop and think a minute which is so valuable.

Perhaps an AM or FM station will soon realize how valuable you are. For the time being I'll have to be satisfied with your blog. Good luck with whatever you do.

Fondly,
Pat
