Obit: Fred Merrin a.k.a. Bumper Morgan

I can't speak for knowing the facts, as I was still in diapers when Mr. Merrin was in Binghamton. I noticed the WKOP-FM reference in the obit and simply assumed that was correct.

I realize that, Jon. I saw it in the obit as well and just wanted to make known that he worked for AM and not FM.

Fred/Bumper was a great talent...not many have made the jump from a 100+ market to market #1.
