Bob Howard
(aka: 'Mr. Sound Off', 'Capt. Good Guy', 'The Riddler', 'Dr. Strangeletter', & 'Mr. X')

Legendary WPGC 'Morning Mayor', Harv Moore, 'the boy next door' writes:

    Bob Howard had a "right of first refusal" on the sale of WPGC. When the Richmonds tried to sell it to the Marriotts, he exercised it. Got a bundle. He used the money to buy WYSL and WPHD here in Buffalo in Oct '74. He asked me to moved up here and work for him. Bob sold the stations in '89 - walked with 4.3mil...he passed away 7 years ago (1993).
