John Mack Flanagan should be in the BAHOF for sure.
And he should be in BARHOF, too!
Great entries! Guessing BABES / SBE will be doing the engineer again this year?
Tim, the Engineer selection by SBE Chapter 40 this year is Dan Ethen — a splendid choice, indeed!
VERY surprised to see Harold Camping!
Many people are surprised to see that he was nominated, but keep in mind that he helped grow fledgling KEAR from a single, struggling FM into the sprawling Family Radio network.
Congratulations especially to Michael, Doug & Rich
Sorry, Lee Jones, as well
[…] 2017 Hall of Fame […]
Congrats Rich Walcoff! I knew way back in the early/mid 80’s, while working with you in OC that you were and are a Hall of Famer and good person too.
