Richaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard Pegue! Broadcasting Hall of Fame!
God bless the life and legacy of Richard Pegue and how he touched all of our lives. I'll never forget my first "teen DJ" show that Richard prepared me to do with him on WOPA-AM, but most significantly when I became the first Program Director of the new campus radio station WIUS-FM at Western Illinois University as well as radio personality at WHEN-AM and WIUM-FM I repeatedly won The Who's Who Awards for Best Radio Personality and Best Radio Program called what else "The Best Music Of Your Life." My thanks to Richard for allowing me to use the name while making broadcasting history at WIU as the first Freshman to be awarded a Prime Time Radio show, all because of my association with Richard Pegue along with a reference letter from Abe Thompson.
I CERTAINLY would like to join you on air on Friday and Saturday and hopefully we can use these two days to celebrate Richard as well as mobilize everybody on this list and radio listeners to kick off the latest call-in campaign to Bruce Dumont and The Broadcast
Museum on the nomination of Richard Pegue in the Radio Hall of Fame!!

Would love to join you in the tribute!
Richard was also a great teacher and colleague of mine as well.
Who would'a thunk!
I listened to him while studying broadcasting at Columbia, and then to graduate and go to work in news room at
WGCI was a thrill. The kicker was when Dusty Radio changed to Gospel Radio 1390 and he was kicked off the air
and replaced with me! People thought I was the reason he was fired! They didn't know office politics like we did!
Well, eventually my shift went from 9 hours to 8 hours to 7 hours, to 6 hours, then 5, then finally 4 hours until they changed to gospel music! Richard worked his magic on the devil until the shift was eventually eliminated all together! Go Richard Pegue!
If people knew the real deal, they would have picketed like back in the old days! So much for radio rights!
Anywho, looking forward to the Richard Pegue Tribute! Keep up the good work! Stay on purpose, stay empowered!
Stay tuned to Higher Learning!
