WMUA is the only station I ever announced at, so I never had that 
problem.  But I did one make a more embarassing blunder.  A few 
weeks after the assassination, I referred to 'President Kennedy" when I 
meant "President Johnson."

I felt bad about it until, a week or so later, I heard someone on WHYN 
in Springfield do the same.
