Joining us will be WLTD alumni BRUCE DU MONT, BILL NIGUT, TED WEBER, MIKE SCHWIMMER, KARL PEARSON, DON LUCKI, ROBERT ELENZ, GENE CUMMINGS, MICHAEL HAGGERTY, SKIP HAHN, STEVE HART, KENAN HEISE, DON LUCKI, MARK NELSON, BILL SHELDON, TED WEBER, JIM ZAREMBSKI, and CINDY LONG ZEMATER. 

We’ll present sound clips from many of our broadcasts in those days and reminisce about the time we spent together at RadioActive WLTD, 1590-AM, Evanston.

Don’t miss it if you can!
