There was "Lou Terry" on WPOP in the 1960's, & 70's. Think he was a 
newscaster.

A friend came across some old reel to reel airchecks, and posted this one 
from WWNH in 1955. Anyone know the DJ? He mentions Lou Terry is in the back 
room listening to a live Red Sox game.

A pretty good example of how rock and roll was starting to impact the radio 
playlist in 1955. The Star Way radio program features Bill Haley, Charlie 
Mariano, Matt Dennis, Claude Thornhill, Frank Sinatra, Phil Foster, Preacher 
Rollo and the Five Saints, and Woody Herman performing the soon to be 
released film " Love is a Many Splendid Thing". The program was recovered 
from a 7" Scotch 190 reel to reel tape from a personal collection. Local 
commercial spots include Elayne (Elaine) Jewelers and Carrigan Motor Sales 
in Rochester, NH. Mention is also made of Lou Terry who went on to have a 
very successful career as a radio personality.
