Wow!!!
What a blast from the past.
I was born and raised in San Diego and KDEO (Radio Kadio) was the greatest. I especially enjoyed (sweetness) Perry Allen with Ron Reena(sp?)(little ronny roadtrip) on sports. Last I knew, Ron was the media spokesman for the S.D. Sheriff's department.
However, we do San Diego radio history an injustice if we forget Harry Martin (Happy Hare is on the air!). He got tossed off the air for a while for telling jokes thet could be taken "two ways". These jokes are so tame by modern standards that they are probably told (and understood) by third graders!!
I also remember that the dj's allowed me to "hang out" occasionally at San Diego's early "underground" radio station, KPRI.
I'll close with a TV trivia question. Does anyone remember Raquel Welch as a weather girl on KFMB TV?
C'mon...
Who have I left out?
