Ship is a class act. He was at WSU at the same time that I was.
Keith is a good guy. I first met him at KPUG in 1974. Then saw him at KBFW when he was home from WSU. He has had a great career in Seattle radio and TV and has been effectively running WSAB for many years now. And he owns several radio stations.
