I came to WROV after WPXI melted down. When I left Pixie, they still owed me over two grand (which I never saw a penny of by the way) and WROV offered me a haven from which I could literally rebuild my life. I can't say I was happy at WROV, I wasn't. It wasn't because of the station, it was because I had a 3 year old son and 6 month old daughter who were suffering because I was what amounted to a "white collar migratory worker."
During the 18 months prior to WROV, I had lived in Nashville, Los Angeles, and Binghamton NY. I had left Nashville for LA because it was a terrific opportunity for me to program a radio station. I had no way of knowing that the person who hired me was about to be fired himself which left me between a rock and a hard place.
When I left WROV, (I had gotten the afternoon drive job at WNOE in New Orleans), I got home after the last day, took a look at my three year old son, and my newborn daughter and I just couldn't ask them to pack up and move again. I called WNOE and declined the job, then I went out and got a job selling Ramblers so my kids would have a stable environment in which to grow up.
Perry now lives on a farm in North Carolina and, among other things, raises horses!
