Joe Hayes

Many, many thanks to Jeff Hayes and the Hayes Family for sharing this collection of WOLF personality JOE HAYES. Jeff says he was the morning announcer along with Red Parton from about 1941-43 and then went to serve Uncle Sam.  "He returned to radio (WOLF) in 1945 and stayed there until 1949 or 1950. He later moved to WACK in Newark or WGVA in Geneva. Also, I remember my mother mentioning that he would occasionally do a remote from the Hotel Syracuse," Jeff wrote.  No doubt a WOLF live band broadcast with Joe serving as M-C from the hotel's Grand Ballroom. Joe died in Syracuse in 1960.

Another Rick & Ron Boing Show Winner!
Bill Drace and trophy

While Rick & Ron were the morning team on the Big 15, they often had listener participation. One contest was the "Boing Show". Bill Drace shared some memories; "I used to be a huge fan of  WOLF... it's the reason I'm in radio, now. Back in 1977, or was it 1978, Rick and Ron were doing a take off on the Gong Show called, The Boing Show. They would take callers, and they would do their act. Being young, stupid, and in high school, I thought I would give it a shot. I called, played guitar, and sang a song over the phone. Well, I was the weekly winner!!! I won the Boing Show Trophy, and I still have it in my office."

Today Bill Drace is Promotions Manager at Clear Channel, Syracuse. Thanks Bill!
