KSO's Frank N. Stein
Burt Powley

 

During the Dick Vance era in the early 1960's, KSO had an on the street windowed studio named the "KSO Fishbowl." Dick Vance explains in our exclusive interview how a visual presentation accompanied the on--the-air sound. One of the air personalities, Burt Powley, dressed up in a Frankenstein monster costume, complete with makeup and did his program as Frank N. Stein. This was a big hit with the kids as they scooped the loop and drove by the Fishbowl. Burt passed away on February 2, 2013. He was survived by his wife Gerrie.
