Years ago, you did a daytime variety show on WCPO, then it moved over to WKRC. More than a few times, you had a musical act on your show called "The Gross Brothers." I was one of those brothers, Nick. This was probably back in the early 70's. Do you remember me? I’m sure you do.
Well, maybe not.
Of course, your sister Rosemary had a beautiful voice and you also can sing. Do you still?
The Cincinnati Post will be going out of business at the end of this month. How do you feel about Cincinnati becoming a one newspaper town?
Will you miss doing your column?
Do you miss doing the local television newscasts?
Whatever happened to Len Mink?
You live in Augusta, Kentucky which is a friendly place. How come so many people in Cincinnati aren’t?
Would you like to meet for lunch sometime?

p.s. – Nick, please note I didn’t ask one question about George.

My mother loved Nick and his variety show. I remember she would always take a break and watch it.
And now, of course, I love his son!

I heard a rumor that Nick's son Geroge was going to buy the Cincinnati Post but I guess that's just a rumor. I for one will miss that paper. I won't read the Enquirer.

Hi, Nick.
You'll recall my dad, Tom Brown. I was enlisted by the AFTRA union about 1976 to picket in front of WKRC. You were fabulous. The only person to "stand up". Anyway, I just wanted to say "hey". Hope you are as proud of George as dad was of me. He really got a kick out of sending me as the "informational picket" for AFTRA. I'm doing well. Live in Lexington SC, now.
