Gary is a graduate of Lincoln High School, in Lincoln
NE. The earliest record of Gary's career I could find, was at KFAB
in Omaha, Nebraska, where, under his real name (Gary Greeness), he spun
records and aired the news.
Beyond that, not much is known about Gary Martin, other than that he began
as fill-in man at WRKO (arriving from WTIX / New Orleans), eventually having
his own full-time shift in various timeslots. After WRKO, he worked elsewhere
in Massachusetts, and in other markets including Cincinnati at WKRQ (FM).
Due to health issues, he now resides at a nursing home in Missouri. In 2005,
Shel Swartz (wrko.org Webmaster) located him, had a wonderful chat on the
phone, after which I sent him some WRKO memorabilia. He sounded warm,
upbeat, and sincere.
