Anything you want to know about Alzheimer\'s or dementia is available on ALZ.org"\\n\\nAndy Ockershausen and Chris Broullire\\n\\nA Ockershausen:\\tThis is Our Town. It\'s Andy Ockershausen. I am delighted with our ... I don\'t call him a guest. He\'s too much of a friend and so close to him over the years, a local guy, a prominent fundraiser, extraordinary salesman. I guess you have to be to raise the kind of money that he\'s used to raising.\\nChris Broullire:\\tIs it fundraiser or fund raiser?\\nA Ockershausen:\\tWell, it\'s both. Why not have fun when you\\u2019re raising funds?\\nChris Broullire:\\tOkay, that sounds good.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tHe is currently the chapter president and CEO of the Alzheimer\'s Association. I met him at least three decades ago. He\'s going to say longer, but I\\u2019ve known him in the radio business and the broadcast television business and the cable business and Chris Broullire, welcome to Our Town.\\nChris Broullire:\\tWell, thanks Andy, it\'s great to be here. It\'s great.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tOur Town covers Annapolis. It covers Vienna, Virginia. We go as far as the Blue Ridge Mountains. We consider everybody in this big, huge bowl of what may be 8 million people as Our Town.\\nChris Broullire:\\tYou are humongous.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tHalf of them live here, which is great and the other half are going on their way out of town. Chris, I go back with you so far but I did not know your background as a local yokel.\\nChris Broullire:\\tCan I tell you the first time I ever met ... Yeah, but can I tell you the first time I ever met you? It was in the lobby right here at WMAL and I was referred to you by Tom Curro, Tom Curro Lincoln Mercury, and he said ...\\nA Ockershausen:\\tOh, I know the name ...\\nChris Broullire:\\tHe says, "Chris, go see my buddy, Andy Ockershausen," and I was just desperate for a job, right out of college, trying to get a job anywhere, especially in radio. "Go see my buddy, Andy Ockershausen," and you spent about 20 seconds in the lobby with me telling me, "You got no shot, kid, good luck, call Dick Eurie." That was my first meeting with Andy and I thought, "Thank you so much for ..."\\nA Ockershausen:\\tI probably did you a favor and you don\'t realize it. I spent a lot of time wasting your time. You didn\'t have that time to waste because you were looking for a job.\\nChris Broullire:\\tYes, I was.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tBut believe me, I have done that so many times to tell kids or beginners, "You got to start at the bottom. You come to WMAL looking for a job is not the bottom.\\u201d I hate to say that but it\'s true.\\nChris Broullire:\\tWell and at the time it was at the very top, the top of the top.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tWell, I did this to Howard Bomstein. I made him so furious. He didn\'t speak to me for years because he wanted to handle our business and I said, "No, we are doing business with people we love. I\'m never going to change.

I was born at Doctors Hospital, which was at 19th and I, which is no longer there. It\'s an office building now.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tWe just went by it the other day and Janice said to me it\'s a Children\'s Hospital.\\nChris Broullire:\\tYeah.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tCan you imagine what\'s happened to our town?\\nChris Broullire:\\tYeah, it\'s changed a bunch and went to Campus School, which is a little eight room grade school near Providence Hospital.\\nA Ockershausen:\\tI know it well.\\nChris Broullire:\\tI went to Gonzaga, met my ...'
