Jean Shepherd
WOR [New York NY] 1956-1977
Passed away Oct 16, 1999. dselby@erols.com says, "Jean Shepherd was an
absolutely fabulous spinner of tales about growing up in Hammond, Indiana in the
1930s. An amalgam of his stories was made into a TV special, A Christmas Story,
and is now an annual staple at Christmas. He published several books of his
tales, among which is Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories ... and other
disasters, a compendium of stories that originally appeared in Playboy magazine.
But before Playboy, before books, before A Christmas Story, there was
Shepherd on late-night WOR, spinning out his tales in what seemed to be extemporaneous
rambling talk, running two or three hours. He certainly belongs, like Bob and Ray, in
the elite of radio personalities. Particulars are at the memorial web site (Click on
his name, above)."
