Maybe not so famous, but I think many will remember him. He was mentioned in another post. Toad Hall from KCAC then later KDKB. When our first son was born, I called in a request on his morning show and spoke with him. Not too much later, I met Toad and his family and began our friendship, visiting with them often. He made some awesome soft tacos. Beautiful wife, Felipa, and 3 children. He left the radio station, can't remember why, then took a trial announcing job at KNIX Country (not KNIX then, what was it?) It was only one or two days running, but he called it the Rick Evans Show. (Country wasn't his bag, even though he could sing it very well) Anyway, Gary was an unusually gifted and talented man; singing, dancing, acting, cub scout den master, MC, etc. However, he took a wrong turn in life and died several years ago of AIDS. He called me a few weeks before his passing, but I procrastinated in returning his call and didn't get to visit with him. That has been a deep regret in my life, not responding to a friend reaching out to me. A lesson learned the hard way. Richard PS, I did meet Marie Osmond in Madrid, Spain. I knew her ex, Brian Blosell.
