Diane was one of the first and only female disc jockeys in America at the turn of the 1970's. Join us as she guides you through a musical journey of oldies music, funny stories and familiar artists' interviews as we relive many warm memories from the past.

This was Diane's first, nationally-featured magazine article. She was one of the first female broadcasters in America to have her own radio show. Wow!

I've asked many rock stars what it was like to hear your first hit song on the radio. It had to be like my feeling of seeing a stack of magazines with my name on their front cover. And make sure you check out my high-top white boots. Double Wow!!

Every girl needs to have at least one glam photo in her portfolio. This was as good as what my mama and I could do for my first magazine shoot. Love the white gloves!

As my first magazine article alluded to, I dreamed of one day hosting a Saturday, children's TV show. Thanks to Bill Weber and WSYX television in Columbus, I was able to live out my dream. Sorry for the poor-quality of this grainy, 1970's black and white picture.

Following my wonderful experiences on radio and TV, for a few years I was able to teach others how to produce and be a TV and radio broadcaster. I taught downtown at Career Academy, in Columbus, Ohio. Being on-air may not pay very much but it sure was fun!

This is my second national magazine article, featuring the Lennon Sisters on the cover. What a wonderful and amazing honor for me, growing up as a small-town Ohio girl!

My thanks to WBBY radio for taking a chance on hiring me, along with my self-produced radio commercials for the radio station's advertisers.

When the radio station owners did not allow females to be on-air or to even voice commercials, I went to the business owners to ask for their permission to do their paid, business commercials. There's always a way to get a start with your first job!

What a shame that the picture of my red 1969 Triumph Spitfire isn't very clear. I couldn't even drive my first stick shift, so the salesman drove me home and parked the car for me!

I cherish my friendship and interviews with Carl Giammarese of the Buckinghams. The Buckinghams still perform to sell-out crowds after more than 60 years. The best!
I love hearing from our listeners. So feel free to visit my site, ask questions and let me know from where you're listening. And ask about my Children's Book about the real meaning of the season.
