Over 35 years ago, I guess, there was a Bud Sawyer who did AM drive on the
old WORL (950), Boston (now WROL). It's been a long time, but I recall him
as having a pleasant voice and an engaging manner and running a tight board.
I definitely would have called him a "major-market talent". He was probably
in Boston for a year or two. Same guy?
