The quarterly gathering of Broadcast Legends for Spring 2008 featured a rollicking discussion of broadcasting's "young adult" years as recalled by five men who were there to witness it firsthand.

The March 27 panel discussion, moderated by Fred LaCosse, was filled with reminiscences by Ken Ackerman, Aaron Edwards, Bill Evenson, Don Mozley and Dave Parker, who recalled how they broke into the industry, the jobs they performed early in their careers, their greatest and most embarrassing moments on the air, and the most memorable people they met along the way.

Homage was paid to several notable Legends that recently became Silent Mikes, as the assemblage celebrated the lives and careers of Bob Glassburn, Bob McDonald, Ray Jacobs, Rufus Pederson, Rod Sherry, Harry Martin, Sy Mouber, Brian Connolly and Ron Boltz.

David Jackson of the Bay Area Radio Museum, with the help of Legend Norm Howard (Lehfeldt), presented the rare video of KSFO's 1961 "Great Race" between popular disc jockeys Don Sherwood and Jim Lange from Stinson Beach, across the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco and the finish line at the Ferry Building. Norm's vantage point was second-to-none during the race: he was the young man toting the camera that captured the action.

Norm Howard and Al Hart got the afternoon off to a rousing start with their presentation of the top news headlines from 1938.
