DICK KERNEN . . . THOUGHTS and WELL WISHES!

Motor City Radio Flashbacks would like to extend continued well wishes to Dick Kernen, who was hospitalized when this photo was taken a month ago.

We hope at this time Dick is now home fully recovered and is today well and back on his feet. 🙂

We missed not seeing him as well at the Last Detroit Radio Reunion event, September 14!
