he pioneered the contemporary Christian music format in Blaine, WA and later at KSON

was fun. Although working in Nashville and going to LA was exciting, the radio fun was
never the same as my first station ... kind of like losing your virginity."

enough to work with so many hall-of-fame disc jockeys over the past few years that it just
makes the job special. To my friends Frank Page and Larry Scott, thank you for the great
