Ah yes, good old Norm, one of the original "Live Five" when WBZ radio 
decided to drop NBC programming and go to real genuine disc jockeys in 
1956... Bill Marlowe was one of them too, although he didn't last at WBZ 
very long.  And if I recall, wasn't Norm involved in the payola 
scandal?  Russ is right-- he lives in LA, but some people have been in 
contact with him, so he isn't totally reclusive.  (Real name is Norman 
Pransky, I believe...)
