'The Real Deal' - My prized possession when I was ten years old, growing up in Momence, Illinois was my transistor radio. With its limited reception, only 3 prominent Chicago AM stations were available, one of which was WJPC. I became a fan of its disc jockey Richard Steele. Flash Forward to 2004. Whether hosting Jazz forum on WBEZ public radio, interviewing Tuskegee Airmen James Wilson or facilitating pledge drives for public television, Richard Steele never loses a beat. He's the 'Real Deal.' Stay cool Richard!
