DAVE DIAMOND
WIL St. Louis
August 6, 1963 (UNSCOPED)

(Contributor: Don Shuttleworth)

Dave Diamond was a true gem.

The South Dakota native worked all over the dial during a stellar 22-year that began in 1960 at KOIL Omaha. Among his many stops was KHJ Los Angeles, where he was among the original Boss Jocks in 1965. Diamond became a professor after his radio days ended, and also wrote several books, short stories, poems and plays. He died in 2014 at the age of 77.

Enjoy Dave Diamond on WIL from August 6, 1963 (UNSCOPED) ... in the Aircheck of The Week.
