Comments: Growing up in NJ in the 1950s and 1960s, you could not escape WOR if you were not hooked on the Good Guys or Murray the K. It offered real news and this led to Shep. When you are a White Sox fan and heard Shep's lament about Bullfrog Bill Dietrich and the other losers, you know you have a soulmate. When you are a high school student and hear Shep's stories about Flick and Schwartz (hey, I knew lots of Schwartz kids--where did he find Jewish kids in Indiana, even in suburbs of Chicago?), you could imagine yourself in his stories. Many of us in high school and college in those years found Shep to be the voice of both sanity and insanity and it was a marvel that every night he found some new way to entertain us. Two of my friends and I shouted "Exclesior, you fatheads!" at the conclusion of our last high school assembly--but as Shep would have predicted, there was so much commotion that no one--and certainly no teacher--could hear us. Then it was off to college and alas I had less time (and quite a bit of interference at times in the Boston area) so that Shep became a vacation passion more than a daily treat. Thanks so much for this great web site!
