What a fantastic night May 22nd was at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet! If you missed it, you missed out on a wonderful evening, reminiscing about radio days gone by (and more still to come) in Rhode Island...it was the inaugural induction ceremony for the Rhode Island Radio Hall of Fame! And AWCT is so pleased to be a part of something that is only going to GROW as each year passes by.
Salty Brine, Charlie Jefferds, Arlene Violet, Gene DeGraide, Chuck Stevens, Chris Clark, Sherm Strickhouser and Paul Fuller & Al Matthews are the original Class of 2008, and their induction into the hall was full of memories, stories and a few laughs! Each inductee had an audio presentation so we could listen and remember what everyone sounded like in their heyday...and those audio clips will soon be posted on the Hall website at www.rhodeislandradiohalloffame.org. It was great to visit with so many in the broadcast industry, and introduce our cause to so many new people - great for our kids! Frank Coletta of NBC-10 was the master of ceremonies, and did a fantastic job keeping things moving.
This is an event you won't want to miss next year...go to the RIRHOF website to find out more information, and you can even become an Associate Member yourself! As an associate member, you'll be able to nominate and vote on YOUR favorite choices for the Hall, and much more. And, member proceeds go to our wish kids!
