In 1985, when WROR did a Rock & Roll Reunion Weekend (The same weekend that WMEX 
1150 signed on, I think), Arnie Ginsburg said that they were having a Dan Donovan convention 
at Fenway Park.  They were drawing straws, and whoever got the shortest straw would be on as 
Dan Donovan that weekend.  The one who appeared said that he was the last Dan Donovan.  He 
said that he came up from Rhode Island to see Mr. Richmond about a job.  His audition was to 
go on that day as Dan Donovan.  When he was done, he was told that he was now Dan 
Donovan, and the guy who had been Dan Donovan was instantly transformed into Johnny Dark 
and put on the all-night shift.
