Paul Cavanaugh did weekends at WPGC in 1976.

Todd Reynolds / Ed Kowalski / Ed McNeil writes:

Paul was a Jersey boy who worked at WINX while attending AU in the late-'60s. I hired him at WYRE to replace Dino Del Gallo when he went back to 'PGC. Paul was part of the staff displaced by the Great Strike That Struck Out in May 1977.

Sadly though, Paul died sometime around '91-'92. After replacing the hot water heater in his home, he had to head off to work before getting the thing completely installed. He went to a neighbor's house to clean up, and suffered a fatal heart attack while taking a shower.

In this brief aircheck from the Fall of '76, Paul is heard filling in on Dino Del Gallo's Sunday night shift. Contesting at the time consisted of Janis Ian concert tickets.
