After 51 years in broadcasting I called it quits at the end of 1999.

It all started in 1948 at a small radio station in Upstate New York. Then on to Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania and finally California in 1967.

It was in Philadelphia that I moved from radio to television and then on to KPIX Channel 5 in San Francisco as Assistant Program Manager. In 1969 I came to Sacramento as Program Manager at Channel 10,KXTV and then to Channel 40,KTXL in 1978 as Program Manager. I also became the Editorial Director and on-air Editorial Voice at Fox 40.

My wife Julia and I have been married for 60 years and are the proud parents of four, two sons and two daughters and grandparents of five.

I was born in Brooklyn, raised in Jersey and graduated from Michigan State University after serving with an Infantry regiment in the South Pacific for two and a half years during WWII.

I can remember my very first day in Broadcasting as if it was yesterday. I walked in to the radio station in Hudson, New York, said "hello" and started talking into a microphone. Seems I've never stopped until New Years Day 2000.

A Couple Anecdotes:
It happened at my second radio job WHFB, Benton Harbor ,Michigan. Benton Harbor and St.Joseph, Michgan are the states Twin Citys. Its Christmas time and the local Chevrolet dealer was selling: Get your 1950 brand new and stylish Chevrolet Belair for Christmas at the number one Chevy dealer in Southwestern Michigan- TWIN SHITTY CHEVROLET.

Then at station number three, WOWO, Fort Wayne, Indiana its Christmas 1954 and one I'll not forget: Ladies for that man in your life be sure to checkout MANOR MENS WEARHOUSE for their great sale on Mens Briefs, slightly soiled and half off.
