Jack Vincent: Remembering an AM Top 40 Radio Legend

On January 29, 2017, we lost our dear friend Jack Vincent, who passed away at his home at the age of 99 years. Jack worked in radio for many years, notably working the overnight air shift at KCBQ in San Diego from the 1950s to the 1970s. He worked at other stations previously, and also worked as an engineer at KCBQ. He was truly the Dean of San Diego Radio Broadcasters. On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, Smitty and Mike are joined by their good friend "Shotgun Tom" Kelly, who was a lifelong friend of Jack's. Together, they remember Jack and his many accomplishments in life by reflecting on Jack's own words, taken from a 2011 interview which Galaxy Nostalgia Network had the privilege of conducting with him. We look back on Jack's beginnings in Youngstown, Ohio, his start in radio, his military service during the Second World War, and his memories of working those overnights for so many years. Join us in this tribute to Jack Vincent here on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network.
