Bill Shaw's note above resonated. While at KIXL Hugh used to phone night DJs and pretend to be Lee Seigel, then chew out the DJ for some imagined transgression. I was only present on about two such occasions, but he occasionally mentioned others. It seemed inappropriate to me then, but I suppose such high jinx are not so uncommon in the trade. That was (now) 60 years ago anyhow. His death was only a month before what was to be his 50th HPHS class reunion. I saw him last at the 40th in 1992, to which his then-young daughter from his second marriage accompanied him.
