    He did everything in Detroit radio and TV and… he was Santa Claus in the Hudson’s Thanksgiving Day Parade when there was a Hudson’s. Rocky, the hollering neighbor on Lunch With Soupy Sales. He was a wrestler on Motor City Wrestling on 7. Booth announcer on 7 and 4 at different times. Remember booth announcers? The station ID’s and tags were done live. I think he was a big guy in AFTRA in Detroit. Father to David “Was”. In a bazillion commercials locally.

      Thanks Mike! We have about 100 more folks to add to the database. Once done, we are going to loads bunches of pictures that folks have sent us so that we can compile a nice archive of the folks that made this station great. Thanks again!
