Thanks for this Dale, a few of these people are still alive too...but so many radio greats...

One thing I loved was Earl Warren and Casey Togtema...doing commercials for Ontario Chrysler..."That's right Earl"!!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Fred Sgambati this week and her and Fred's son Michael. Michael looks just like his dad. RIP Fred.
