Dayton Area Broadcasters Hall of Fame Gala at the Crowne Plaza Hotel!


Jim Johnson & Jim Barrett (Board Members)

It's my understanding this was the third gala event for the Dayton area Broadcasters Hall of Fame, which they have every other year.  Because of my friend Clay Collins I was able to get into this very large and sold out event, which took up all three ballrooms in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dayton, to take a these pictures.  Because of Clay's induction this year and because of his close to forty years of serving our beloved jazz to the listeners in our area I'm proud to do what little I can to pass this on to our readers in Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus.  Our congratulations to Clay Collins and all of the other honorees.  - Ron Gable
