Old Time Radio in Syracuse

Who remembers the two main radio stations we used to listen to? ...the DJ's? 1260 WNDR, 149(1490) WOLF. How about Dandy Dan Leonard, Jim O'Brien, Jolly Rolly Fowler, Bud Ballou, Mad Man Morton, Happy Jack McNamee, Pete Cavanaugh, Bob Dell, Joey Reynolds.
WNDR was broadcast from a small building on Andrews Rd off Jamesville Rd in Dewitt. WNDR was a sponsor for the Teen Canteen. How about 3 Rivers Inn and Sports'O'Rama in Mattydale for all our musical heros from the 60's?
How about the Syracuse Nats basketball games at the War Memorial. Jim McKechnie was the announcer for them. Who remembers Baron Damon from local television fame? How about Kuela, Fran and Ollie? How about Archibald Stadium at SU. Remember the concrete "seats"! I remember seeing Roger Staubach when they played Navy. Did anyone go to the Pig Stand which is where the route 5/481 interchange is now in Dewitt? Remember they used to always flood out when Butternut Creek overflowed in the spring. I know you do!!!
