Never heard of the last four names.............little help.
 
Mary Richardson--Ch 7, Ch 5 (Chronicle)
John Shepard III -- The "Yankee Network" WNAC etc (mid 1922 "The Shepherd station", on one floor
of Shepherd's dept. store. See Donna's book)
Ken Meyer--talk producer
http://www.massbroadcastershof.org/hof_meyer_ken.htm
Eunice Randall Thompson--pioneering female broadcaster (as seen in Donna's book)

P 21 of Donna's book shows her in 1921. "Boston's first female announcer" read bedtime stories for children, news, etc.
 
Ken Mayer was Larry Glicks first and longtime producer on BZ. He also hosted Saturday overnights on BZ for a number of years. I always enjoyed listening to him. He did interesting interviews and had a tremendious knowledge of radio history. ( I produced his Saturday night show for a little over a year)

After being laid off from BZ, he did an old time radio show on the old 590Am and later worked for the City of Boston.
 
Mark of BRW passes along that he got a PR from WBZ: the late Carl deSuze will be honored as latest inductee of WBZ Radio's Hall of Fame
 
I'm surprised that Jack Chase wasn't already in. I still remember Jack reading the no-school announcements on snow days, back in the fifties. To a little kid, the guy who tells you that there's no school becomes an instant hero.
 
Ken Meyer was Larry Glicks first and longtime producer on 'BZ
Ken Mayer was the --Herald?-- columnist who used to turn up on Glick's show a lot talking about Vegas. I think he had his own show --Sundays-- on old WBOS?

Carl deSuze wasn't in the BZ HOF? I guess they have tough standards. There was some speculation that Brudnoy might make it but I didn't think so (they fired him once).
