It wasn't a direct move. Bobby left WQXI and did mornings on WIIN-97 for
several years. That's where he was when I was in high school and I listened
religiously every morning. Then he got out of radio for a while. WSB lured
him back to radio in the early 80s. I remember his first week at WSB - I
had to show him how to use the production room. It was a strange feeling
having to show my boyhood radio idol how to work a console. Bobby died of
lung cancer a couple of years ago.
