Dick Pleasants to retire

[Dan Strassberg]

Is he also retiring from WUMB? I think he does AM drive there, so he spends
a lot more time there, and presumably derives a lot more income from WUMB
than he does from WGBH. I believe he also has a concert-promotion business.

Dick first joined WGBH in 1978. "Dick has been an important part of our
public service for a quarter century," notes WGBH Radio's Marita Rivero.
"His warm voice, knowledge and love of this music will be missed. He's made
an enormous contribution, and while we're sad to lose him we wish him every
success." For the foreseeable future, WGBH Radio plans to provide
programming using a similar mix of musical styles currently featured on THE
FOLK HERITAGE."
