Fri (8am)

I started at KDAL in 1978 working the mornings with Hunter Como. Broadcasting UMD and high school sports got going almost immediately with Marsh Nelson and Eric Eskola. The first game I did on KDAL was a North Stars pre-season game with Winnipeg featuring Bobby Hull. Years later, Brett Hull would be a two year phenom on KDAL's airwaves. Bobby Hull joined me on the legendary "Hockey Talk" after a UMD series with the Gophers at the DECC. Pat Cadigan and I worked together in the early, early, mornings for most of 28 years. It was amazing trying to keep up with Pat I needed lots of coffee to hang on! Away from KDAL, I love to fish and hunt. Walleye and grouse top the list of outdoor exploits, with the annual Governor's Fishing Opener a can't miss event since 1973. I've interviewed thousands of guests over the years, hosted "Communication Line," and other shows. I've had the privilege of interviewing street people, senators, governors, and sports legends. It was an honor to get something interesting from all of them, even when they were on their own agenda. Two grown boys and three grandchildren later, I'm proud to have raised a family in the Twin Ports. I couldn't have picked a better place to bring them up.

Per my conversation with Russ Francisco, this is the stuff you can pour into your gasoline or diesel (be sure to check the label) to clean the gas and many times revive that vehicle/machine.
