For a few years I was priveleged to "appear" on JD's morning show as "Rojo the Magnificant" (any magnificance is directly a result of JD's creative genius), but our association goes back to high school. Later we were both in the Service at the same time, and wrote to each other, because "nobody else would write back", he said.
We were in the Madison area and in the Two Rivers areas at the same time, so we spent lots of time together over the years. I saw a lot of the "radio business" from the inside and found it fascinating, but mostly fun because I had JD Barber as my guide to the inside.
We're retired now and living in New Mexico, but we have several Wisconsin friends here who remember JD Barber well!
We all on the listening end of "radio" will miss him as I know all of you do on the "inside".
Our thoughts and prayers are with Ruthann, and her family.

On God Bless...J.D. Barber
