Harvey Sheldon, I think.  I didn't know he was the owner.  I remember him as being on the air 
a lot on the station.

He also had a station in Miami--WUPI. If memory

I think it must be the other way around.  WUPY Peabody went off the air for awhile, then 
came back with the call WUPI.

I remember listening when the station first came on, and it sounded OK most of the time, but 
the evening show was done live by Harvey Sheldon from the General Gloverhouse restaurant, 
and he sounded very unprofessional.   He kept rambling on and on at high speed.  Later, 
when I listened to the station after it returned as WUPI, he was doing music from the studio 
and sounding much more professional.
