And don't think I haven't tried, but there was a period of time when 
he didn't want to be found.  Alcoholism is a terrible disease and 
some very brilliant people have been affected by it... I continue to 
try to search for him-- he was one of my faves during my college years.

My other fave was Jefferson Kaye.  The Hootenanny show he did on 
Sunday nights was one reason I went into radio.  Some of the era's 
most outstanding local and national folk music.  When he was fired by 
WBZ, the show was done temporarily by Ron Landry, who knew next to 
nothing about folk music and I became determined to do that show, but 
alas, I had no experience, so I tried to get on my college station... 
only to find they didn't put women on the air.  A long story, but 
after being a board op for ages and ages, and learning to be a music 
director, I finally persuaded the PD at WNEU to give me a chance in 
October 1968... and the rest is, how shall we say, history.
