THROWBACK THURSDAY: TEENAGE MONTE NINJA TURTLE

As we prepare to mark our 30th anniversary—"celebrate" seems the wrong word—we're delving deep into the HITS archives and pulling out a trove of incredibly dignified photos from the early careers of biz luminaries. Case in point: This stately photo op, apparently snapped in a supply closet at WQEN Birmingham, which finds Monte Lipman, then at SBK, working his magic. Did that Ninja Turtle get the add? You bet he did. Seen pressuring turtle Raphael to perform at the station's holiday show are (l-r) MD Jeff Donovan, Lipman, SBK National Judy Haveson and PD Leo Davis.
