I listen to WBEN most of the day and I look forward to your new lineup and wish you much success. I would like to comment on David Bellavia. I find that David is a gem and he is one of the most interesting personalities you have. His honesty and integrity is refreshing. He is creative and not afraid to take on controversial subjects. After reading his book he became an immediate, “hero” in my eyes and I know few men or women that I call heros. Please keep him because I fear he will be lured away to a national platform. Whatever your paying him – pay him more. I am retired, prior USMC and law enforcement.
