Jean Shepherd
WOR [New York NY] 1956-1977
Passed away Oct 16, 1999. dselby@erols.com says, "Jean Shepherd was an
absolutely fabulous spinner of tales about growing up in Hammond, Indiana in the
1930s. An amalgam of his stories was made into a TV special, A Christmas Story,
and is now an annual staple at Christmas. He published several books of his
tales, among which is Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories ... and other
disasters, a compendium of stories that originally appeared in Playboy magazine.
But before Playboy, before books, before A Christmas Story, there was
Shepherd on late-night WOR, spinning out his tales in what seemed to be extemporaneous
rambling talk, running two or three hours. He certainly belongs, like Bob and Ray, in
the elite of radio personalities. Particulars are at the memorial web site (Click on
his name, above)."

the jock training me was on for an hour or so, then let me start to do it solo; after about
a half hour he took off and said, 'Have Fun.' There I was, alone in the radio station
doing my first shift. It scared the hell out of me! Baptism by fire for sure."

I finally decided to retire completely. I play golf and enjoy the grand kids. I have two
sons, one has been a missionary for 25 years and the other is in television, five grand
children, one great. I have been a licensed pilot for 20 years; I don't fly as much now,
just enough to keep from hurting myself or others. Life is good down here South Texas,
slow and easy." Click for more from Don.
