Nationally known bandleaders like Joe Rines and Jacques Renard were first heard on Boston radio; as was one of the first weathercasters; E. B. Rideout. The city has been home to a number of legendary announcers; such as Bob and Ray; Arnie Ginsburg; Dick Summer; Dale Dorman; and Charles Laquidara; talk show giants like Jerry Williams and David Brudnoy; and sports talkers like Eddie Andelman and Glenn Ordway. Many Boston radio personalities; such as Curt Gowdy; "Big Brother" Bob Emery; Don Kent; and Louise Morgan; found fame on television but first established themselves on Bostons airwaves. Since 1920; Boston radio has remained vibrant; proving that live and local stations are as important as ever.

Not worth much for genealogy reference.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This is a wonderful book on Cottage GroveBy CampThis is a wonderful book on Cottage Grove. My ancestors helped settle this little community in the mid 1800s. And I grew up there. This book. with its many. many wonderful photos and descriptions is one of the best additions to my family history collection Ive ever found. I especially love several family photos of my own grandparents and great-grandparents that I had never seen before. Thank you!
