Only one Dave MacNeil at WCRB

[Ron Bello]

Dave MacNeil was one of the voices of WCRB (along with Dave Tucker) in the 70s.
I think he was also Ops Manager.  He did not walk very well but was in constant
motion.  He would voice a live break, bound over to the duplicating 
machines to
change tapes for BSO and do 3 other tasks before heading back to the studio.
