	Buck Weaver - The Ginger Kid
		Buck was banned from organized baseball in 1921 for his alleged involvement in the fixing of the 1919 World Series.
		Buck was banned not for participating in the fix, which by his statistics and play in the 1919 Series, points to the exact opposite, that he did not participate in the fix.
		Buck tried several times throughout his life to clear his name and to be reinstated into baseball, he died never to see that come to pass.

	ARP Studio Remembers WOKE in Charleston, SC
		Weaver did not like the moniker "disc jockey") at WOKE from 1979 to 1981 as co-host of "Carolina In The Morning." I think I still hold the distinction of being the youngest morning show host in the country, as I had just turned 15 years old when I began my duties as morning show host.
		Weaver had undergone heart bypass surgery in 1979, and his doctors had advised him against working the long hours he had been, doing the morning show from 4:55am to 10am, followed by a full business day as station owner/general manager, and then working many local play by play sports broadcasts in the evenings.
		Weaver was an innovator, although some of innovations were laughed at by people at other radio stations who thought they were corny or old hat.

		Long synonymous with aviation's “golden age,” the Weaver Aircraft Company (soon to be known by its acronym WACO) was founded in 1920 in Lorain, Ohio by George “Buck” Weaver, Elwood “Sam” Junkin, Clayton “Clayt” Bruckner and Charles “Charlie” William Meyers.
		Meyers, too, had already designed an aircraft with Weaver and the pair approached Bruckner and Junkin, asking them to join their construction efforts on a single-seat monoplane named the “Cootie.” Unfortunately, Weaver crash-landed the Cootie during its first flight attempt and suffered extensive injuries in the crash.
