R.I.P. Richard Pegue

Very sad to hear this. Richard was a great guy, He was just as friendly and genuine off the air as he was on the air.
Chicago has really lost a lot of radio legends in the past few months, people who were not just "radio people", but
legends who can never be replaced. Richard, just like Eddie Schwartz, Paul Harvey and Wally Phillips were people
who all made Chicago a better place to live. You all loved the people and Chicago and I promise you a lot of people
in Chicago still love all of you. Rest In Peace my friends.
 
Wow, this is the first I've heard this. Richard Pegue was my first radio production teacher at Columbia College back in 1981. He even provided me with my first internship answering request lines at WGCI-FM when he was program director at the time.

My favorite memory is his teaching our class how to prepare music beds for radio spots. I think it was because of his explanation that the basic difference between black and white people was that black people always clapped on the 2's and 4's (the downbeat), while white people always clapped on the 1's and the 3's. That has stuck with me to this day.

He was funny, genuine and a good man.
