After 6 years, he escaped to France and became a priest. In France, he had a vision and eventually returned to Ireland to spread Christianity.

Dear Casey,

I'm writing to you today because I have a 24-year-old daughter that I was recently told is looking for her father. Back in 1981, I was stationed with the Army at Fort Lewis, Washington. I was only 17 years old at the time, and I met a beautiful girl named Audrey who was stationed on the same post. Casey, it was love at first sight. Well, fraternization was a big no-no. Male soldiers weren't allowed to even date the female soldiers, never mind being intimately involved. Audrey and I became intimate, and quickly she became pregnant when all of a sudden I got orders for an overseas tour of duty in Germany. We discussed the possibility of an abortion, which I thought at the time was a good idea. How wrong I was... During the following separation, we lost contact and eventually never spoke again. Well, recently a relative informed me of an old email message from 2002 indicating that my daughter Roxanne(whom I've never met) was looking for me. Can you believe it? Since then, every try I've made to try find her or her mom has been a deadened, but I know she's out there Casey. I'd love to somehow make up for not being there for her for all these years. So, I'd like to make a dedication to express my true intentions. Could you please play "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You"? Roxanne, your dad does love you, and I will find you. I promise.

What did you think of it? Did a radio station in your area recently pick it up?

No, I listened to it online last Sunday morning. I enjoyed it, although not as much as AT20.

[Arson]

The radio station where I used to listen AT10 has dropped the show, replacing it with Leeza Gibbons' Hollywood Confidential. Is that even a countdown? Arrghh! >:(

[johnnywest]

Leeza's show used to be really good. I haven't heard it since 2004. Prior to 2001, it was a countdown. I believe the AC show was a Top 20 and the hot AC show was a Top 25. But I'd prefer to hear Casey's shows.

[johnm1120]

I miss both Casey and Leeza. Sunny 104.3 used to air Leeza 9am Sunday morning, but dropped her shortly after the format changed from countdown to Hollywood Confidential. WLYF dropped Casey shortly after the show was reduced to top 10.
