The station will air the next installment of the radio special, "Remember When," the 157th chapter, on Friday from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., according to Carl Fitzgerald, who created the show in 1983 and produces it. The program will present "The Steel Story," with special guest Tommy Dulaney, CEO of Structural Steel Services Inc.
