Dave McElhatton

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.

  1. 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.

    I 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.
