Those are some good dudes. Joe Donovan, Doug McElvein, Van Vance, Wayne Perkey, Jack Fox, Milton Metz, and I stood for that photo in 1993. They’re all outstanding broadcasters who helped maintain WHAS Radio’s legendary status as one of America’s giants in news/talk.
Joe and Milton are gone. Doug McElvein was on the radio last month and can be found in an earlier post on this website. The other fellows will all sit for interviews in the near future.
I’ve been speaking with one prominent WHAS voice every week leading up to the station’s 100th birthday in July 2022.
I LOVED catching up with my friend @terrymeiners on @840WHAS radio today.
We talked about family, @JudeRedfield, #Covid_19 my life in tv news and my new job at @FL_Resort
I was honored to be back on the airwaves with him today!
