Most people who knew Les probably know by now that he died a couple of weeks ago after a year-long struggle with cancer. KINK Radio has been a long-time client of mine and was Les’ on-air home for almost three decades. For 20 years thousands of Portlanders woke up to Les’ morning show five days a week. Having had the opportunity to work with with him many times I can say that he was as nice a guy in person as he seemed on the air. The image posted above is being used as cover art for a CD which will be sold at Les’ memorial concert on Sunday May 17th. The proceeds will be used to help his wife pay for his outstanding medical bills. Though it’s a small contribution, I’m glad that I could be a part of this event.
