WRIC-"For 55 Plus"-1991

[irish89055]

i hate that they consider 55 is senior citizen... Good ole Alden Aaroe.. I wonder what he would think of the disgrace that is WRVA today..

@irish89055 - The life expectancy for males in 1981 was 70 so 55 seemed older then.

@2012Steelerfan thanks for the reply, true it was 70 then and 75 today for white males and 80 for white females from birth... I thought my WRVA comment would get a rise out of someone..

I remember Alden Aaroe fondly. Him and "Millard the Mallard", his character he did for the radio. My grandmother would listen to WRVA 1140 am, back before they switched their format to all talk and they would play a lot of big band and 50's music inbetween the talking heads' shows. He was a great personality and I still remember when he passed. Rest in peace, sir.
