2. Thanks for the note

I grew up in a house where my mom always had him on in the morning, as well as his successor, the late Bob Collins. I miss that sort of middle of the road fun (without harm or childish pranks) that was AM radio back in the day, especially WGN.

Oh, and for a chance at the bonus prize, do you know the name in the black box that could win you all the goodies they ever gave away?

3. I Used To Listen To Him

I often listened to Wally Phillips when I was a teenager in Naperville during the 1960's.

My mother once won some money from him when she and my younger brother were able to answer a puzzle question he was posing.

Sorry to hear about his suffering.
