Default Legend of WOWO dies

For those that follow medium wave and are familar with either WOWO or Bob
Sievers, the following may be of interest.

Legendary WOWO Radio Announcer Bob Sievers dies

Former WOWO morning host Bob Sievers has died at the age of 90. According to
friends of the Sievers family, he was taken to the Emergency Room and died at
around 7 AM Monday morning. Sievers hosted the Little Red Barn morning show on
WOWO for decades, and has been on the air in one way or the other for over
seventy years. You can read stories and memories from Bob's closest friends and
co-workers throughout the day onTuesday on Newstalk 1190 WOWO.

I have also posted a partial article about him on my blog.
Thanks for your time.

I'm very sad to hear this. When I was 12 or 13 got to sit in the studio with Bob
as he did his program, and later saw him at the FT. Wayne Hamfest on occasion.

He was also a ham, holding the call W9FJT (Fifty Jumping Tigers)
RIP Bob.
