Nope.  Got from a reliable source that Randy had tendered his
resignation with the team not long ago.  The team and WCAP had
maintained a good off-season relationship.  Dunn remained eager to do
what he loves - to call sports, as he had in Maine with the Seadogs -
and, unlike with the Spinners, he got the nod.  They'll be deciding
what will happen with the morning show, soon but it will remain local
news/talk.
