Is it time for another public awareness campaign? All that needs to change is the names. Instead of Harry Moskos, change it to read Jack McElroy. The news story that accompanied this published picture on Saturday March 30, 1996 by David Keim revealed that Keim was unable to discover the identity of the person (s) that paid for the billboard.

Gary Douglas of Douglas Outdoor Advertising, Inc in response to David Keim’s inquiry said “I’m not going to divulge anything about the sponsors or anything like that.” “I see it as a statement which reflects an opinion about the growing frustration of Knoxvillians with the editorial department.”

Douglas reiterated “I don’t disagree with the message,” “Harry’s hammered a lot of folks, and he does it on a regular basis and a lot of times it’s not correct.”

The more things and people change, the more they stay the same. Again, instead of Harry Moskos it is now Jack McElroy and Keim is still writing stories.
