Hey, Gina! My mother has Dad’s old anniversary gift from the folks who used to work with him at WCMD-AM 1230. It’s one of those more rectangular mics (it was antiquated even then, it’s probably a good 75 years old now - a Johnny Carson-style desk mic that would have been on a boom arm in a production studio), mounted on a presentation base with holders for two pens, and it has a brass plaque on the front that says, ‘Mr. Radio’. She wanted me to have it last Christmas, but I was too sick with the flu to mention it to her. Fifty years he spent, mainly behind a mic, but was also a PD and manager at some of the stations he drifted to.
