Max constantly used house names.  But I too do not recall Joe Smith at
Wimmex.  At WVDA, yes.  At WORL, maybe.  At WTAO, I'm almost positive.  But
not at WMEX. Otoh, I wouldn't have put it past Max to take an established
name and use it if the person who had it was not on the air in Boston
anymore.  Joe Smith got out of radio and went into records sometime in the
60s...  But as a researcher, I must tell you that even first person accounts
can be shaky when told 30 years later-- Donn may be right, but I am going to
check anyway!!!
