Late last night received this sad news (from a Motown pal) that my former part-time WJR colleague Ken Calvert has died.

Didn't know well the Detroit Piston's play-by-play voice (and never worked with him on any broadcasts), but I always found him an upbeat, genial fellow when occasionally running into him in the WJR/Detroit station hallways during my mid-1990s tenure there as a commercial newstalk call-in host.

I'll leave it to his many Great Lakes State fans to add more data, at least until Wiki editors catch up with his unfortunate demise.

Not to be confused with the Congressman from the "Inland Empire"
region of California...though they were close in age.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
