Thanks for the smiles

Steve, you radio brat, you! Congrats to you and the staff of CHRS and BARHOF and Broadcast Legends, and all the wonderful volunteers. It was great to see such a turnout, and to see and hear such enthusiasm through out the day. (Except for the food line, maybe.)

Thanks for letting me have a few lines (speaking as the druggist — lines; get it?) in A Date with Baby. Peter was an awesome director, and what a cast he gathered. It was a pleasure just being around you.
 
And grazie to Len and David (Jackson) for their work on the next class of BARHOF.

But most of all, thank you for creating and maintaining these opportunities for us to get together with each other, and with one of the great loves of our lives: Radio.
 
And don’t forget: Italian Balm, every day.

Steve and all the other volunteers….You guys did it again plus this event was on a higher level!! Wow! Still trying to recover from shock for receiving the volunteer of the year award and standing on stage in front of a huge audience..never happened before. There are so many CHRS members who worked so very hard all year long who deserve this recognition as well in 2023 and years passed. 
Now it is time to edit the video recordings of Radio Day. which will take some time to complete for our You Tube channel. Oh,! should get my act together and order a brick.
…..and something else…I’ve been a member of various organizations that go back as far as 1961 (San Francisco Radio Club), but CHRS is the only organization as a member that I feel like we are all family.

Hear hear! Another Radio Day by the Bay, in the books!  Thank you for all your hard work. The volunteers were all so friendly and helpful. Excellent job by Zoey being the official mascot, as always.
Thanks for including me, Steve!

Always honored to be part of it and work with some legends I haven’t worked with, or met, before. Lots of talent on stage and off. Happy to see my longtime friend and coworker Jack Friday get nominated to the Hall of Fame!

What a great Radio Day and what a great group on the stage for our old time radio play! Everybody was fabulous and the audience loved it. I agree with the sentiment that we should do more comedies and rom-coms. Not that I don’t love Sam Spade and his ilk, but the audience really got into this one! Poor Melville! Can we do it again next weekend? LOL Probably not but I would love to. I just hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Thanks for including me in this production and I look forward to next year! Until then this is Melville signing off.

And let me add my few cents! I am so glad I was included in all of the festivities. I’ve missed so many  of the events since my election in 2016 and always felt no one even knew who I was! May still be the case but if so  you all did a great job of “faking” it!
I was honored to be part of yesterday….to have the important role with Ben of announcing the new BARHOF class and being apart of the play! And I loved meeting all those I have looked up to in my radio career and seeing “old” friends as well! Plus it was just a ton of fun! Can’t wait until  we meet again!

Well, Steve, another successful Radio Day and we were doubly blessed by perfect weather.  I know you were working double overtime this last week to clean up Radio Central and it showed.  I’m so glad it paid off!  Many people were complimentary about the building and the events of the day. This only happens when the leadership is strong along with the determination to succeed by you and the staff.  Many do not realize just how much goes into the planning and organizing of this event.  It is exhausting!
So congratulations, fearless leader. You’ve done it again! And, of course, we could not have done it without our wonderful mascot, Zoey! BRAVO, Steve! You’ve earned a rest this week! Thanks for making us look good!

Love, Betty
