Cheryl “Sheri Lynch” Wardlynch’s Choice: Whether Or Not Embrace Gray Hair.
I, the owner of this very Blog; would appreciate it if Sheri Lynch had any consideration for people such as myself who are Autistic, who don’t like and can’t tolerate change, and don’t want to accept people and the world around them changing.
This includes Sheri Lynch continuing to dye her hair, WBT-FM never, ever changing it’s call letters to WLNK-FM, WBT-FM never adopting the Hot Adult Contemporary format, WBT-FM never adopting “The Link” moniker, Lincoln Financial remaining in the Broadcasting business well into the present day, and long after it had merged with Jefferson-Pilot; and the WBT Radio Stations, and WBTV-TV; in turn, never changing hands several more times ever since Lincoln Financial had exited the Broadcasting business.
I also prefer that Sheri Lynch be mindful of the history of the WBT Stations, and the Broadcasting Division of Jefferson-Standard/Jefferson-Pilot Communications, and her role in it; as chronicled by another Jefferson-Standard/Jefferson-Pilot employee, the late Reno Bailey, on his website BT Memories: https://web.archive.org/web/20220416080601/http://www.btmemories.com/
Moreover, I also prefer that Sheri Lynch be mindful of my fascination (or infatuation, depending on which word you prefer to use) of Full-Size Pickup Trucks, SUVs, and Vans; 1960’s-1990’s Intermediate and Full-Size American Passenger Cars and Coupe Utilities, European vehicles, Medium and Heavy-Duty Trucks, School Buses, and Motorhomes; and if Sheri and her husband never owned a General Motors GMX200 Minivan, a Buick Rendezvous, a Pontiac Aztek, any Minivan that the Chrysler Corporation and its successors have ever designed and built, any generation of the unique to the North American market Toyota Sienna (XL10, XL20, XL30, and the XL40); the RA Honda Odyssey, the unique to the North American market RL1, RL3/4, RL5, and RL6 Honda Odysseys, or the KV-II, VQ, YP, and KA4 Kia Minivans (including the badge-engineered Hyundai Entourage).
Instead, I prefer that Sheri Lynch and her husband own a Full-Size Pickup Truck, SUV, or Van; a Chevrolet Astro/GMC Safari, a Ford Aerostar, a T4 Volkswagen Transporter/EuroVan, a Volkswagen I.D Buzz, a R20/R30 Toyota MasterAce/Tarago/VanWagon, or an XR10/XR20 Toyota Estima/Previa; if she and her husband traveled in a Motorhome any longer, or if Sheri and her husband owned a 1-Ton Dual Rear-Wheel “Dually” Pickup Truck and a Fifth-Wheel RV Trailer, and traveled that way; instead of cruising around traveling in their Minivan.

If NBC Had Never Fired, And Had Retained David Letterman For The Later-Night Talk Show Following “The Tonight Show” With Johnny Carson, And Later Jay Leno; And If Ray Romano Had Appeared On David Letterman’s NBC Show, Leading To Television Sitcom Offers For Ray Romano; Then The Television Sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond” Would Likely Be Networked On NBC Television, And Not CBS Television; Assuming CBS Was Still Owned By The Paley Family, Or Taken Over By Ted Turner; And Was Managed The Same Way It Always Had Been From It’s Founding In 1927; Up Until The Mid-1990’s.
