Gynan got his start on the old WEEI in the early 40s, when then-PD Arthur
Edes started a radio school train (men) announcers-- no women allowed, btw.
After being trained, he got hired at the old WLAW in Lawrence.  He also
worked for another long defunct station, WVDA in the early 50s, back when it
was owned by Vic Diehm.  he stayed on when it became WEZE circa 1957.  He
died in 1986, and I believe that 
has not changed...
