For those in the tri-state who listened to the radio for 50 years, Jim Scott is the name everyone knows. He was the friendly voice that woke up listeners on 700 WLW until 2015, when he retired to the country home he shared with his wife Donna.
Just six years later, he got a diagnosis... ALS. That changed his life... and ended it.
Donna HVaverman is here to tell us about the two-hour show being held in his honor on June 28th, hosted by three of his former colleagues in a program full of laughs, memories, music, and more.

that was better than most people could wish for.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
For Cincinnatians and those in the Tri State who listened
to the radio for fifty years, Jim Scott is the
name everybody knows.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
He was the friendly voice that woke.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Up listeners on WLW until twenty fifteen, when he retired
to the country home he shared with his wife, Donna.
Just six years later, he got a diagnosis als, changed
his life and ended it. Today, his widow, Donna Heferman,
is here to tell us about the two hour show
being held in his honor on June twenty eighth here
(00:41):
in Cincinnati, hosted my three of his former colleagues. In
a program full of laughs, memories, music and more. We're
going to tell you how you can get your tickets
and help patients living with als right here in Cincinnati
and later.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Are you looking for a job or.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Do you need childcare and you have no idea what's available,
what's affordable and who can you trust?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Well, Goodwill can help you find.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It and we'll be there to support and help you
navigate that need.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
No On iHeart Cincy with Sandy Collins.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
This is I heard Cincy. I'm Sandy Collins. Let's get
right to it.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yes, is Donald Hammerman. She's the white widow of everything
in the Tri State.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Donald, Welcome to the show. Has been most people since
we lost Jim Scott. How are you doing.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I'm doing. I'm doing fine. I am I'm not a
weeping widow.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And I feel Jim's presence with me all the time.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
So I'm okay, that's good to hear. That's good to hear.
What what is it about? Is it your personality that's
made it?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Or was it him actually that helps you through this?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Well, I have to say, I mean I have thought
about that. First of all, I'm pretty I took care
of my elders, my mom, my dad, my dad's wife
into great old age for twenty years, and then my
mom passed, and a couple months later, Jim was diagnosed
(02:14):
with als and he was His first thought was, oh, Donna,
you've just been.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Through since And I said, Sandys, it.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Prepared me for the most important thing I will ever
have to do in life, take care of you. So
I think that I you know, I was tempered to
no not know the particulars, but just built my build
to take care of Jim. But the other thing was
that I think that Jim and I always we had
(02:53):
a good run of it, you know, for thirty years
twenty almost twenty five married and we were a couple
for five before that, and we were friends for thirty
five years almost, And I think that I don't think,
I know that we both knew that we had a relationship,
(03:14):
a love, a friendship and everything that was better than
most people could wish for. And that's really sustaining.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
For me, you know, Donna.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
For a lot of the people that are listening to
this show, many people were aware of Jim, they knew him,
they were fans of his. There's also other stations during
this program that didn't really know Jim personally. So I
want to kind of talk about him a little bit more,
but it's not going to do him justice because he
had this rich, full life and lived eighty one years.
(03:49):
The celebration of life that you've been promising is finally
here on the year anniversary of his passing. But the
information I've been getting is it's not a funeral.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It's not a funeral. And so I talked to Brian Combs. Yeah,
it's a show.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
So I talked to Brian Combs here in the newsroom
and he is one of the MC's one of three,
and he said.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
No, it's it's kind of like a little show.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
So you've got music, you've got memories, tell me a
little bit about the celebration, and then we're going to
talk just a bit more about Jim and how you
two met.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Well when when Jim pay asked, I usually don't do Facebook,
but I knew just enough to post on his Facebook
page the next morning, and I then wrote, no funeral,
A celebrational life will come soon. And as soon as
I posted it, I knew I wasn't going to do
(04:44):
a celebrational life because Jim was so beloved in Cincinnati
that I I was like, what are four thousand people come?
I don't know how to do that. And so then
Maria Bruce, who as a young woman that Jim went
back to college to finish up his degree when he
(05:05):
was seventy five, and she sat next to him in class,
and this twenty something woman and Jim became great friends.
And then she knew that I couldn't plan a celebration
of life, and she said, what if we do a
show and, you know, a tribute show to Jim, like
a little mini Broadway show, And that's what this is,
(05:30):
and it's just it's just great. We have some of
the top vocalists in Cincinnati are going to sing really
significant good songs. It's narrated and m seed by three
of Jim's former colleagues. We have film footage. Marty Brenneman
couldn't be there because it's a big weekend reunion week
(05:52):
went and for the Big Red Machine. He filmed something
fabulous and so it's a show and lots of videos
and pictures of Jim. We were showing some great old
commercials that he did for TV. And then we also
have about twenty fabulous rapple baskets that were donated by
(06:16):
things that were organizations companies that were associated with Jim
like Grippo and Kroger, which, by the way, are the
sponsors of this show.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeh, Donna, this sounds like a really a wonderful show.
I know you can get tickets online and go to
the Mount Saint Joseph website to look at those, so
if that's on your mind right now, but I do
want to pivot just a little bit. You'd ask me
before we got started if I had met Jim. And
I did get to meet Jim. I started here in
(06:50):
twenty nineteen and Jim was coming in once or twice
a month at the time, I think, to record commercials
and Donna I heard of him. I'm from Dayton. I
grew up there and lived there for the vast majority
of my life, so I knew who he was, but
I didn't have the personal relationship and understand his depth,
(07:12):
if you will, of all the things that he did
for fifty years. So he came in and he knew
my name before I even saw him, which I thought
was interesting. And he shook my hand and he said, Sandy,
it is so wonderful to meet you. And I was like, okay,
does he know who I am? I mean, I thought, wow,
(07:34):
you know this is good. It's kind of cool. And
then he's like, well, tell me about you, and he's talking, talking, talking,
and I was so perplexed. I had no idea. I
thought it was because I was special. I had no idea.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That he did that.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
No, no, no, no, he did that. From what I hear now,
he did that with everyone. But I didn't know that.
I just felt so special. And every time he came
into the newsroom he always had something to say. He'd say,
I heard you yesterday, and I like this story that
you did, and.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I thought that was really good.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
And I just when he walked out of the room,
I thought, Wow, my stuff doesn't stink at all.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I think I'm pretty good right now.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
And come to find out that he literally made everyone
feel like that. And I just if you just tuned in,
I'm Sandy Collins. My guest today is Donna Haverman. She's
the widow of Jim Scott, who is gone now for
a year here in Cincinnati. He passed away from als
last year at this time, and his friends, his family,
(08:32):
his fans are holding a show in his honor to
remember him, to spread the joy and relive some of
the best moments in Cincinnati.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Can you tell me how you two met?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Oh, boy, that's what's kind of a good story. Jim.
We met on Halloween nineteen ninety at a Halloween party
fundraiser Playhouse in the Park. And you know, Jim was
the EMC in Cincinnati. I mean he mced things two
(09:07):
and three times a week, so he was the mc
and the costume judge, and he was dressed as a
giant Grippo bag and I was dressed as Lady Godiva
and it was pretty eye popping costume. I had one little,
teeny tiny snapshot, but I was like, be Lady Godiva
(09:28):
and I made this amazing costume. Anyway, he awarded me
uh for best Costume for Women, and then I knew
Jim was but I didn't listen to him. I listened
to a rock station in the mornings. But then my
friends started calling me saying, Jim Scott's talking about you
(09:50):
on the radio. And then her paths crossed all the
time because I was in media too with newspapers, and
our pastcross all the time, and we became really good friends.
And then after about five years, he had broken up
with another good looking girlfriend and I said, Jim, can
(10:14):
we call what we're doing next time we go to supper?
Can we call it a date? And he said, no,
I see you have the same reaction I did. I know,
and I said, but we said why not. I'm the
first person you call every morning, the last person every night.
(10:36):
And he said, because if a date didn't work out,
I would lose you as a friend and I'm like no,
and he goes, I don't do platonic and I said, well,
what do you think this is? So? And so the
next time we framed it as a date and I'm
(10:58):
telling you he never dated it anybody else. And we
just we just fell out of friendship and into love.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Oh it's so lovely and just what a sentiment that,
you know, I don't you know, I don't want to
lose you.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
You know that that certainly is I know, just so sweet.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Such a sweet memory. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Of all of the big things that Jim is known for,
one of the biggest of courses his affiliation with the Reds.
An opening day he was at the parade though, you know,
every year he walked it.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
It was his whole world.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
He found out on opening day that he had als.
And he said, you know, are you kidding me? You know,
on opening day you tell me I've got a baseball
you know, a disease named after a baseball player. It
wasn't quite like that, Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Oh? There it was. There was an expletive in there.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Okay, okay, all right, I'll figure out which one that was.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
But he retired.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Was it twenty fifteen fifteen. Yeah, and then he found
out with the ALS win.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, he found out on opening day twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Right, so he had six years retirement doing his own
thing twenty twenty one and then it goes quick.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
It's such a terrible disease.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
And this is a fundraiser for the ALS Foundation.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
No, it's a fundraiser for it's an endowment fund under
the UCU University of Cincinnati Foundation, and it's a fund
that is specifically for the clinics for clinical support of
people who have ALS in their caregivers, so that it's
(12:47):
not research, it's clinical support. It's incredibly important for ALS
patients and their caregivers to have the best quality of
life they can have for the time they have left
with this fatal disease. And so clinics, clinics, they help you.
(13:10):
It's how you learn what's coming and how to deal
with what you're dealing with.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
When you found that to be helpful, did you go
through that yourself.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, yes, and our doctor Neil. We're lucky in Cincinnati
because we have such a medical complex and it's the
Gardener and Neuroscience Institute is a part of uc Medical
and complex. That institute deals with all neurological diseases, and
(13:40):
we are so lucky in Cincinnati to have one of
the top docs in ALS and all of his patients
are ALS patients, and he was just wonderful in his support.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
That's great, that's great. Well, the tickets are available right now.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
It is next Saturday, the twenty eight, And tell me
a little bit about how people can get tickets and
what to expect real quick.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Sure, Probably the easiest way is just google Jim's name
and then it'll probably pop u. Yes it will and yeah,
and the tickets are they're really only thirty five and
fifty dollars, which I think is a cheap date and
a good time.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
For a good time.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh and I got to tell you one more thing.

bag full of really cool mementos of aspects of Jim.

patients and their caregivers to have the best quality of
life they can have for the time they have left
with this fatal disease. And so clinics, clinics, they help you.
