Buck Herring spent years on Sacramento Top 40 radio (and I think he was at KEWB/San Francisco too).

I don't recall him from K/MEN so he apparently wasn't there too long...maybe only a few weeks or a month or two?

Johnny Helm

Looking forward at he surveys. His last picture was on a Nov 23, 1968 K/mentertainer. His replacement seems to be mentioned Jan 3, 1969 as Harry Scarborough.
