Major Mudd

[Doug Drown]

This raises an interesting question: Who are the senior Boston area
broadcasting personalities still with us, either still in greater Boston or
not, and how old are they? --- I'm thinking of people like Jess Cain, Dave
Maynard, Norm Prescott, Frank Avruch, Roy Leonard, Dick Tucker(!! --- I had
no idea until fairly recently). . .  Who would be the "elder statesman"
(stateswoman)?
