Send A Message to Don Kent!

Posted by Mish_Michaels
Don Kent...91 years young!!

For those of you who grew up around here, the name Don Kent says it all--a true legend. A New England institution. I had the honor of interviewing Don at his home in central New Hampshire. He and his wife Mim welcomed our crew and we sat down for a long chat about the past and present. As Don puts it, his time working at WBZ "were the best years of his life." To this day, he is deeply touched by the many fans who stop him on the street to say hello. Now 91 years young, I know he would be delighted to hear from those of you who remember him well. Please post a message and I will place them in a book for him to enjoy.

Thank you for remembering a man who gave so much to so many.

Here is the TV story I produced on Don. You can also read an article by Barry on their personal relationship.
