Heywood Vincent

[Paul B Currier]

Hank Forbes was the eventual 7-11 WHDH DJ preceding  Norm's 11:30 - 6 shift.
There was a half hour of news at 11.  This was in the late 50's and 60's
when all HDH dj's were on single shifts.  For a while in the 60's Hank and
Norm swapped with Hank starting at midnight.
