Last Years Round Up
Thank you to everyone who competed, donated, or presented last year at our

Surkamp of Pavlov’s Dog, the Cardinal Cowboy, Beatle Bob, newscaster Julie
Tristan, and former KSHE DJs Randy Raley, Ron Stevens, and Joy Grdnic, we
sold out the event and were able to raise over $6,700 for various local charities.
If you participated last year, we are glad you can join us once more. If this is your
first time with us, you’re in for a real treat as you take part in one of the most
unique, and most St. Louis events of the year. Thank you for being part of it!

Furry Friends Recovery
www.furryfriendsrecovery.org
Furry Friends Recovery provides educational and therapeutic need-based
support by connecting pet therapy teams to people who experience mental and
emotional challenges.
Whether we visit an inpatient in a specific facility, go to a psychiatrist
appointment with someone, or attend a support group meeting, people will find
comfort in soft fur.
Many people find it easier to communicate looking into the understanding eyes
of a dog, rather than at people in the room that are staring at them as they talk.
Since we have found no other therapy dog organizations in the St. Louis area
that offers this specific service in an “on call” type of format, we feel strongly
that we will fill a tremendous need by offering people the unconditional love
of a furry friend — even if it is only for an hour at a time.
That hour might be all it takes to prevent a suicide or to help someone share
feelings with their doctor or support group.

Center for Head Injury Services
www.headinjuryctr-stl.org
The Center for Head Injury Services helps people with brain injuries, autism,
developmental or neurological challenges learn the skills they need to build an
independent life, to be a part of their community, perform employment-related
tasks, find and keep a job, and live independently in their own home.
According to the National Institutes of Health, each year approximately two
million people sustain brain injuries that result in lifelong difficulties in the
areas of work, school, and family. A head injury can occur to anyone at any
time, regardless of age, income, or race.
Many people believe brain injuries can be treated and cured, much like
diseases. However, a brain injury can cause permanent limitations and become
a chronic health condition requiring long-term support.
The Center for Head Injury Services is known for helping clients lead lives as
productive as possible and for its individualized, innovative solutions to clients’
issues. The Missouri-based Center serves an increasing number of adults who
have neurological disorders that range from autism to brain injuries.

Santa Needs Help
www.santaneedshelp.org
Santa Needs Help is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to support
non-profit children’s organizations.
For over 10 years Santa Needs Help has been helping local organizations
dedicated to helping children who are terminally ill, children with special
needs, and the families of law enforcement officers and firefighters killed
in the line of duty.
Throughout the year our organization helps at a variety of fundraising events,
holiday parties, summer camps, and more. At the events our team brings a
popcorn machine, a sno-cone machine, and Gus’ Pretzels along with a face
painter, DJ, and animals.
Our family of animals we bring for the children include snakes, chinchillas,
a tarantula, llamas, and Sonic the hedgehog.
Organizations we help include Friends of Kids With Cancer, The Ronald
McDonald House, Make-A-Wish Foundation, The BackStoppers, Camp
Rainbow, St. Louis Children’s hospital, and many more.

Joy Grdnic
ROUND 1 – The Women of Classic Rock
Joy Grdnic returns to present again at the Extreme St. Louis Celebrity Trivia
Night. Joy has been known to St. Louis from the age of 17 when she became
the youngest female on-air radio personality in the country as KSHE’s
“Joy in the Morning.”
Now, more surprised than anyone that she is no longer 17, Joy brings her take to
the little things in life we all experience here in St. Louis at OnSTL.com with
her video segment dubbed “What’s Joy Thinking?”
Joy maintains she may not be right, but she knows what she’s talking about.
Joy also can be found at The Fountain on Locust, the restaurant she created for
St. Louis in Midtown.

Tim Van Galder
Round 2 – The Sports of St. Louis
Tim Van Galder was born and raised in Wisconsin, before playing football
and baseball at Iowa State University and the New Mexico Military Institute.
While at Iowa State he earned all-Big Eight Conference honors in both sports
as quarterback and pitcher. He lead the Big Eight in passing and total offense
twice during his career there and is the last Cyclone to pitch a no-hitter. Earlier
this year he was inducted into the Iowa State Athletics Hall-of-Fame.
In 1966, he was drafted by the NFL St. Louis Cardinals and the AFL Houston
Oilers. Wearing #16, Tim played for the Cardinals in 1967 and (after a ROTC
obligation) from 1971-1972 before playing for the New York Jets in 1973. His
NFL highlight might be leading the Big Red’s 10-3 win over Johnny Unitas and
the Baltimore Colts in the first game of the 1972 season.
In 1973, Van Galder was working at KMOX-TV when the Jets called him
to backup a team down two quarterbacks — including an injured Joe
Namath. After that Van Galder returned to work for KMOX and CBS Sports,
broadcasting alongside Don Criqui, Al Michaels, and an up-and-comer named
Bob Costas.

Randy Raley
Round 3 – The Universe of Classic Rock
Randy Raley also presented at the 2014 Extreme St. Louis Celebrity Trivia
Night. Randy grew up in Ava, Missouri. It was there he got his first taste of
radio — when a newsman didn’t show up at the local AM station, the on-air
personality handed Randy the newscast and had him read it.
His radio career started at KFMH in Muscatine, Iowa. He then went on to
WXLP in the Quad Cities and KYYS in Kansas City where he became KC’s
most popular announcer in the afternoon.
In the spring of 1985, KSHE95 came calling and for the next 13 years Randy
dominated the afternoon 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. slot — consistently being #1 or #2 in
the key 25-54 demographic.
After his time at KSHE, Randy worked for The Rock!, WSSM, and KLOU
before returning to Kansas City to do the morning show for KCFX.
Randy now has his own radio station streaming worldwide. On January 1, 2010,
Planet Radio was born. Today, it plays over 6,000 songs from 1963 to the
present including “top 40” and “album rock” with some jazz fusion thrown
into the mix. For more information go to www.planetradio.us.

Gary Levinson
Round 4 – The Food of St. Louis
In 1968, Gary Levinson opened the first Orange Julius in St. Louis at Northwest
Plaza. Four years later, Carl Bianco, an independent agent, contacted him about
selling tickets for a local concert. That was the start of it all...
Contemporary Productions and KSHE Radio asked him to sell tickets for their
concerts. With the help of KSHE, Orange Julius became the #1 location for
selling concert tickets and KSHE products.
Gary has had fast food operations — Orange Julius, Pretzel Parlor, Hamburger
Heaven, and Popcorn Palace — in St. Louis malls for the last 40 years. He
currently operates Popcorn Palace inside Dierbergs in Chesterfield.
Gary Levinson is truly an icon to the 1970s “rock ’n roll” generation.

ABOUT THE HALL OF FAME
www.stlouisclassicrock.com/hall-of-fame
The St. Louis Classic Rock Hall of Fame was formed from an
idea several listeners had in 2011 — as a way to honor St. Louis’s
classic rock heritage. The unique twist? The fans are the ones in
charge of the process!
The Hall of Fame honors not only local artists, but the DJs, the
venues and institutions, and others who have helped give the people
of St. Louis unique experiences that no other city can boast.
This year, the fans nominated 77 very worthy candidates to join
the existing Hall members. They then voted in eight new members
detailed on the following pages. I think you’ll agree that all of this
year’s class are worthy of being called “Hall of Famer.”

AT THE 2016 EXTREME ST. LOUIS CELEBRITY TRIVIA NIGHT
Friday, October 21, 2016
16
The Admiral
2015 Inductee – Venue/Institution
The SS Admiral was an excursion steamship on the Mississippi River launched
in 1907.
In 1937, it was acquired by Streckfus Steamers who wished to construct a new
Art Deco style flagship.
The Admiral was longer than a city block and was the first all-steel inland
steamer. When completed it was also the largest passenger vessel on U.S. inland
waterways —
­ holding 4,400 passengers.
Throughout her life, she held Teen Towns, CYC Dances, and many other
functions all while being an operating riverboat until 1979.
Later the Admiral became a floating casino before being sold as scrap in 2011.
17
The Ambassador Theatre
2015 Inductee – Venue/Institution
The Ambassador opened in 1926 as a landmark of rococo 1920s theater design.
The 3,000-seat theatre occupied the first six floors of a 17-story building at
Locust and 7th Street downtown and was home to many early KSHE-sponsored
rock concerts. Its historic dressing room autograph wall is still often discussed.
The Ambassador was demolished in 1997. In its place is a courtyard and
fountain for the US Bank building.
18
The Checkerdome/The Arena
2015 Inductee – Venue/Institution
Opened in 1929, the Arena (or The Checkerdome as it was known during
its concert heyday from 1977 to 1983) was the site of many of St. Louis’
major concerts in the 1970s and 1980s including Bob Seeger, Sammy Hagar,
Van Halen, Yes, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, and The Who.
Besides being home to numerous concerts, the Arena housed the St. Louis
Blues, the Spirit of St. Louis, the St. Louis Steamers, and was host to various
conventions, circuses, horse shows, NCAA tournaments, the WWF, and
political rallies.
“The Old Barn” survived a 1959 tornado and a five-alarm fire to the Annex
in 1980.
Through controlled implosion, the Arena was brought down on February 27,
1999, despite public objection and an attempt by local artist Bob Cassilly
(founder of the City Museum) to purchase it.
19
Gypsy
2015 Inductee – Outside Influence
Minnesota-based Gypsy was known nationwide primarily for their single
“Gypsy Queen Part 1 and 2”, but in St. Louis many tracks became Klassics
including “Dead and Gone” — a Perfect Klassic and second in the Top 95
KSHE Klassics (as voted on by listeners) — and “As Far As You Can See
(As Much As You Can Feel)”.
Originally consisting of Jay Epstein, Jim Johnson, Doni Larson,
Enrico Rosenbaum and James Walsh, Gypsy played at the famous
Whiskey a Go Go before releasing four albums.
Along with REO Speedwagon, Ted Nugent, Head East,and Judas Priest,
Gypsy performed at Superjam ’77.
Today, James Walsh carries on the band name with frequent stops in the
St. Louis area — their most recent trip including filming of the concert
at the Wildey Theatre for the forthcoming 2016 documentary “Gypsy:
Rock & Roll Nomads”.
20
Round 5 –
The Sounds of
Classic Rock
Bob Heil
2015 Inductee – Executive/Other
The southern Illinois native is the father of modern rock sound systems —
creating them for the Grateful Dead, The Who, and more.
As a young boy, Bob was a proficient organist and became the house player for
the Wurtlizter organ in the Fox Theater at age 15.
In 1966, he founded Heil Sound and became technician for various St. Louis
venues. In 1970, the Grateful Dead came to the Fox Theater without a sound
system. Jerry Garcia contacted Heil, and being tremendously pleased with the
result, asked Heil, his crew, and his sound system to join the Grateful Dead
on the road.
In 1973, Bob invented the Heil Talk Box which was made famous by
Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, and others.
Heil is also an innovator in the field of amateur radio, manufacturing
microphones and satellite dishes for broadcasters and live sound engineers.

23
Johnnie Johnson
2015 Inductee – Local Artist
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, pianist and songwriter
Johnson moved to St. Louis in 1952 where he put together a jazz and blues
trio. When his guitarist had a stroke, he found a last minute replacement for
a New Year’s Eve gig. That replacement was Chuck Berry. They played and
toured together until 1973.
Johnson regained fame after the 1987 documentary “Hail! Hail! Rock ‘n’ Roll”,
allowing him to record his first solo album and perform with rock luminaries
such as Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, and more...
eventually touring with Bob Weir.
Currently, local newscaster Art Holliday is the driving force behind “Johnnie
Be Good”, a forthcoming documentary about Johnson with Michael McDonald
recording narrator tracks.
24
Bob Kuban
2015 Inductee – Local Artist
Best known for his hit “The Cheater” with The In-Men, Bob Kuban also was
prominent in advancing the burgeoning music scene of the mid-60s, helping
promote and support local artists.
Born in St. Louis, Kuban graduated from Washington University and the
St. Louis Institute of Music.
He is honored in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s permanent exhibit for one-hit
wonders, thanks to his 1966 #12 hit “The Cheater”. He had two other top 100
tracks: “The Teaser” (#70) and a cover of the Beatles’ “Drive My Car” (#93).
Bob Kuban has remained a permanent fixture in St. Louis music throughout
the years, playing before Cardinal games (including the first and last games
at Busch Memorial Stadium), Big Red games, and more, with performances
including the music from the Big Band era through today’s contemporary hits.
Kuban and his band have opened for fellow St. Louis Classic Rock Hall of
Famers Michael McDonald and Chuck Berry, and he feels especially honored to
be inducted the same year as Ike & Tina Turner who were heavy influences on
his musical tastes.
25
Ike & Tina Turner
2015 Inductee – Local Artist
From “Proud Mary” to “I Want to Take You Higher”, the East St. Louis-based
duo and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees (1991) were considered an
explosive combo, rivaled only by James Brown in terms of musical spectacle.
By the late 1950s, Ike Turner’s Kings of Rhythm had become one of the most
popular live acts in St. Louis and East St. Louis. Tina (then Anna Mae Bullock)
met the band in these clubs and started dating the saxophonist before singing
along with the band.
Ike trained Anna on voice control and performance and eventually renamed the
group The Ike and Tina Turner Revenue. From 1961 until their divorce in 1977,
Ike & Tina released twenty-five albums and six Top 40 singles.
Ike Turner passed away in 2007.

“Radio” Rich Dalton
Round 6 – The Radio of St. Louis
“Radio” Rich Dalton has been part of all the great St. Louis classic rock radio
stations of the last four decades. He started his radio career at KADI in 1971,
then worked at KWK in the early 80s before joining KSHE in 1983. After that
he added KSD, KTRS, and KHITS to his resume.
While at KSHE in the 1980s, he hosted the Sunday morning KSHE Klassics
program which not only showcased the unique songs that became a “Klassic,”
but also his own inexhaustible knowledge of the artists and their songs.
In 2013, Rich started working full-time running KSHE’s HD radio
operation, KSHE2 — which he described as “free-form classic rock like
the original KSHE did.” Sunday nights on KSHE also belonged to Rich. His
“Seventh Day” show consisted of classic albums being played start to finish.
Dalton was inducted into the St. Louis Radio Hall of Fame in 2010 and was
inducted into the St. Louis Classic Rock Hall of Fame in 2014.
Radio Rich can currently be heard on the air at The Roots online radio station
www.theroots.fm.
33
34
Gary Kolander
Round 7 – The Seeds of Classic Rock
At KSHE from 1976 to 1981, Gary is best known as the driving force behind
the two KSHE Seeds LPs in 1980 and 1981. He was also known for promoting
local talent on the air, mixing their songs into playlists with internationally
known groups, and sharing his knowledge of the bands and their histories.
After KSHE, he made his way to WMRY and then to KEZK doing a wellremembered soft rock request show in the evenings called Pillow Talk.
Before his career in radio, Gary co-owned the Wicked Flame — the infamous
head shop on St. Charles Rock Road — with fellow future-DJ Ron Stevens.
35
36
Dan Dillon
Round 8 – The High Schools of St. Louis
Dan Dillon recently retired as Senior Writer/Producer at KMOV Channel 4
after 31 years.
In addition, Dan has been a “Trivia Night” host for St. Louis area schools,
churches and not-for-profit groups for more than fifteen years.
Dan’s style has made him one of the most popular trivia hosts in St. Louis, with
regular clients like the Mary Ryder Home, F.A.C.T. of St. Louis, SSM St. Clare
Hospital, the City of Ballwin, the Maplewood Chamber of Commerce and
Stray Rescue. He writes the questions for, and hosts, more than 40 trivia nights
a year.
Dillon is a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, and
an alum of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Florissant. In 2005, he wrote
the best-selling St. Louis book So, Where’d You Go To High School? The Baby
Boomer Edition.
Dan loves spending time with his wife Kim, his daughters Kylie and Mackenzie
and his “brilliant” 3-year-old grandson, Cameron.
37
38
Mike Safron
ROUND 9 – The Children of Classic Rock
Mike is the founder of iconic St. Louis band (and St. Louis Classic Rock Hall of
Fame member) Pavlov’s Dog.
He began his career at age 15 playing with Albert King. By age 20, Mike was
drumming with Chuck Berry’s band during a time Johnnie Johnson and Billy
Peek were members. He moved on to play for Bo Diddley before turning down
an offer to tour Europe with Chuck Berry in 1972. Instead, he founded Pavlov’s
Dog, playing with them not only throughout most of their 1970s discography,
but also during their revival in the 21st century.
After Pavlov’s Dog, Mike founded Children — preforming this December 12th
at the Casa Loma Ballroom — and after that founded the St. Louis Strangers,
who appeared on the first KSHE Seeds LP.
39

Ron Stevens
ROUND 10 – The Names of St. Louis
You may remember Ron from the formative years of KSHE 95 in the 70s when
he was the program director and host of the afternoon drive show. (You may
also remember him from presenting a round at last year’s trivia night!)
Ron went on to write for television in Los Angeles with his wife, Joy Grdnic.
They also hosted several radio shows in Los Angeles and New York before
returning to St. Louis in 1996 to raise their children and run their national
radio syndication company, All Star Radio Networks.
Ron now runs OnSTL.com, an entertainment website dedicated to the
city of St. Louis.
Ron and Joy celebrate 41 years of marriage tonight, October 24.
