Thanks for posting this.

I'd like to see Henry Boggan inducted. He was the host of WBT's Hello Henry forever, and could be heard up and down the east coast (from Maine to Florida) at night.

Hello Henry @ BT Memories (^)

He had a wonderful presence, and was always so good with whomever he was talking to.
