The medal and story of Versace got plenty of coverage on the morning show at KABC 790AM
this morning.
Ken Minyard had a friend who has been involved in the campaign to honor Versace
on for maybe five minutes. The guy did a good job of talking about Versace...sorry but
I can't remember his name.

Side-bar: ALOHA RONNIE, don't know if you ever listen to that show, but Minyard
(the liberal populist from, believe it or not, Muskogee, Oklahoma)
does occassionally mention that his side-kick Ken Avey (sp?) was a Green Beret
who served in Vietnam.
(I've noticed that it's always Minyard who mentions this. Avey never blows his
horn about it. Makes me think Avey must be "the real deal".)

Thank you Ronnie. I sure do remember what Ken did, I was living in Los Angeles at the time. It was awful how Roger was treated like that. Thanks Ronnie for the ping to the thread too.
