It Was Thirty Years Ago Today - More or Less An aging radio fan (NOT ME) has put up a GeoCities (how 1997!) site in tribute to semi-legendary broadcaster and my former mentor "Sweet" Dick Whittington, including a reprinted magazine article documenting one of his stunts while I was his Assistant/Gopher/Sidekick. Yes, I am the "Wendell" in the article AND I'm in the second picture on page 2, standing to the right, trying to hide a tape recorder from the London bobbies guarding 10 Downing Street.
