I was taken aback to replace the George Gershwin with the Don Buchwald.
Gershwin will never be forgotten.
Ill go the way of a mere mortal.
He soon began working as a agent for talent he met.
I took a business management course and began managing the activities of summer stock playhouses and more.
In the meantime, the competing satcasters had merged, forming SiriusXM in 2008.
Still, Stern boasted more than a million faithful listeners.
I, along with my devoted teammates, intend to keep this promise and make Don proud.
