Back in 1985, WROR had a Rock & Roll Reunion Weekend.  Their collection of
DJs included Arnie Ginsburg (of course), Fenway (one of them), Mel Miller
(aka Melvin X. Melvin), and the last of the many people to use the name
Dan Donovan (Arnie Ginsburg said they were having a "Dan Donovan
Convention" at Fenway Park, and they were drawing straws to see who would
appear the next day as Dan Donovan.).  I think they also had some WRKO
jocks, but I was less familiar with them and don't remember who they were.
I don't think they had any WBZ or WCOP jocks.
