Stan, something Bill never mentioned...when he came to LA from Denver
he was a summer relief ABC staff announcer, he wasn't very happy being one of 22 announcers after being a star in Denver. I was also on staff at the time, we became long time friends... rc (stanmajor) wrote in message ... * Friday, Sept. 24, 2004 Bill Ballance Dead At Age 85 The legendary Southern California radio personality made his mark as one of the original "Swinging Gentlemen" at then-Top 40 KFWB/Los Angeles.
