Phew. I remembered the name but it didn't seem right. Remember the artificial heart one too but not as vividly as the First transplant

I remember listening to WOWO in the 1960s because they had a clear channel station which was easy to hear in NY. He must have been doing the broadcasts back then.

What did Mrs. Brady do, anyway? She didn't have a job, but she still had a maid / cook.

She was cute, but not that cute.

Was it her compensation for being a beard?

This would have been his 64th season with the Komets.
