A radio broadcaster who was a mentor and friend passed away in 1986. I still think about him all the time. Joel Sebastian worked at WXYZ in Detroit, WCFL and WLS in Chicago, and many other great radio stations in New York and Chicago. A wonderful, warm, caring guy, especially to someone like me, just starting out in radio. Thanks Joel.
