The Detroit Radio Reunion

Just back from the third and allegedly final Detroit Radio Reunion. There were a ton of Keener moments, highlighted by an appearance by Mrs. Nellie Knorr, the first lady of Detroit radio. It was Mrs. Knorr who took the risk that October day in 1963 and created the legend that lives to this day. We'll have pictures, sound bytes and perhaps even some video from the event, hosted by Keener alum Dick Purtan to benefit the Gail Purtan Ovarian Cancer Fund.

    Scott, It was a distinct pleasure to finally meet you and all the other fans of the greatest radio station in the country during the Radio Reunion. I am suffering from sensory overload just seeing and talking to the best talent in the business whom I had not seen in more than 35 years. I look foward to any audio, video and pictures that are forthcoming.
    Stay well and remember "You've got 13 minutes from the toot to collect the loot".
    Best wishes,
    Jerry Goodwin
