What a great shot that captures the Detroit Rock back in the early 70's. Not sure who the guy on the far left is but we have a very young Mark McKuen from the CBS Early Show. Then we have Lynn Woodison, Steve Kostan, Doug Podell and not sure who the guy sitting on the floor is just yet.. I'll ask Steve and Doug they'll know.

Howard Stern
Howard Stern was on the air in Hartford Connecticut then came to WWWW in Detroit. I actually met him back in the day and I was surprised at how nice he was and not at all pushy like his on air personality. He was not a happy camper in Detroit and then left for Washington DC and then on to NYC.
