I have been without Internet connection all day. Just on.
Dave McElhatton was just a superb human being. Met him once and knew instantly that he was bereft of massive ego and a-hole-itis.
I will post something more pronounced when I have the chance.
Sir Dave, RIP.
Dave McElhatton was a prince of a guy, and he was a reassuring voice in the Bay Area during some very tough times -- the terrible double tragedies of November 1978 come to mind -- and the likes of him will not pass this way again. Now we have smarmry, "too cool for school" John Kessler at KPIX, and a host of Do Do Bird anchors at the other Bay Area stations. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI remember that he was married to the late Bonnie Chastain in the 1980s, until she died from breast cancer. She was a great person as well, and I remember her radio show with Joe Angel ("Angel & Chastain")on KSFO. She was the love of Dave's life and I like to think that they're together once again in a better place. RIP to a good man.
