R.I. Radio Hall of Fame inducts its first class

No school, Foster Glocester!

Just kidding –– get to class!

Thousands of former students spent winter mornings waiting to hear Walter “Salty” Brine utter those words. And the phrase is one of the reasons Brine has earned a spot in the newly created Rhode Island Radio Hall of Fame.

The inaugural class of 2008 will also include Sherm Strickhauser; Charlie Jefferds; Paul Fuller and Al Matthews; Chris Clark; Arlene Violet, Gene DeGraide and Chuck Stevens. Read about them on the Rhode Island Radio Hall of Fame Web site.

The induction ceremony is at 7 p.m. today at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet. Tickets can be purchased by calling (401) 781-9199. They’re $50 and benefit A Wish Come True.
