I was working at radio station KNGS, Hanford, California. This was in the mid-sixties. Sid McSloy, Amelita's husband, was hired as an announcer/DJ. Sid and Amelia were both very likable people. Amelita passed herself off as 35, though I later found out she was actually 44. Amelita was still a very pretty woman, and could easily pass for being 35,Sid had a drinking problem, had terrible bleeding ulcers which he treated with Cutty Sark Scotch and Mylanta. Sadly, around a year later, Sid was fired for being drunk on the job. Sid and Amelita moved away and that was the last I ever saw of them.
