 * Keep. He was a bit more than "just" a local radio personality. He was, at times, an executive vice president and general manager of WMAL and member of D.C. Baseball Commission, as the LA Times reported in 1985 (he gets a few significant mentions in this): Major League Baseball’s Decision on Expansion Moves at Snail’s Pace. His hiring of Jurgensens is talked about in Critics questioned Sonny Jurgensen’s addition to Redskins’ radio booth. It worked out okay.. He was the vice president and general manager of WFTY (now WDCW), Laurel, Pimlico Action Returning to Television (and his involvement in figuring TV deals is featured in that article. He and his wife had a pretty big feature piece written about their house and his life A cozy haven in Shady Side; Couple enjoys 'spectacular' sunsets on south county creek. His retirement from WMAL was written up in several places: Ockershausen Weighs His Options in Wake of WMAL Departure, Does Cap Cities Plan to Change WMAL's Tune?. When he started a podcast at 87 John Kelly at the WaPo wrote a feature piece about it/him: A long-ago voice from Washington radio is resurrected on a biweekly podcast. This is all from just the first page of results on Ebsco and Proquest, by the way. Oh and Washingtonian has a decent summary of his career. There's widespread, near continuous coverage of his career from major local/regional media and occasional coverage from other regions and general trade-focused publications.
