By the time I got to WBZ, August of 1967 on my return from Vietnam, Jeff 
had already moved on....  but I have one memory in particular...

Spring of 1963, I worked after school in a TV service shop in South 
Acton, some radio in the shop was always tuned to WBZ.  Jeff played the 
song "Sally Go 'Round the Roses," then said, "Sounds like a girl with 
kidney troubles."  For that time that seemed a pretty risque comment.

I've thought about Jeff many times, but had completely lost track of 
him.  When I was working for Tektronix in the Philadelphia area 
1990-1995 NFL films was one of my clients...  wish I had know he worked 
there.

Who's left (still living?) from that era... Dick Summers and Gary 
LaPierre?  I worked with Gary at WKBR before he moved to WBZ, I was a 
fill in at the studio and transmitter back then....

Gosh it's a long way from Boston to here in Burns, Oregon!
