The "Last" Detroit Radio Reunion 9/24/05

Art Vuolo called Friday night. The man John Leader dubbed "Radio's Best Friend" has again worked his magic to organize one final Detroit Radio Reunion the weekend of September 24. If you were lucky enough to attend the last event, you saw many of the Detroit radio greats, including names who moved on to Chicago, New York and Hollywood. This year's gathering will surely attract a similar contingent, including a strong WKNR representation. Keener alum Dick Purtan will host the program, the proceeds of which will benefit the Gail Purtan Cancer Fund. Art says that he's already affirmed attendance interest from Robin Seymour, Scott Regen, Gary Stevens, Frank "Swingin" Sweeney, Pat St. John and Michael Stevens. And that's just the Keener gang. If rumors prove true we might expect to see Russ Gibb, Tom Shannon, John "Records" Landecker, Bob Dearborn (Keener's Mark Alan), Lee Alan, Dick Kernan, Casey Kasem and perhaps even the venerable Specs Howard. Keener13.com will be there with a display of WKNR History and our full podcasting studio gear to record as many of the Keener voices as may attend. Keep tuned to Keener13.com for updates.
