Hi Scott,
I lived in the Fox Valley burbs my whole life. I recently moved to Tyler, Texas and occasionally look at the area newspaper web sites to see what’s happening around my old home.
I used to listen to WLS-89 while growing up, too. I loved the same DJ’s that you mentioned and was even interested in becoming a DJ. But, it never happened.
I even met Jeff Davis at Oktoberfest in Aurora when I was about 11 years old (my friend and I won 2nd place in a dance contest that WLS was sponsoring).
I took a Communications course at WCC in Sugar Grove, but never made anything out of it (except a short internship at WFXW in Geneva).
Take care and happy holidays!
