The Hellyer Say

by Art Hellyer

THE HELLYER SAY is a collection of 18 autobiographical essays by Chicago radio and television pioneer and legend Art Hellyer.

There was always something joyous, heart-warming and graceful in his appearances. It makes my heart good to enthusiastically endorse this book.” — Studs Terkel, author of Working, Hope Dies Last, Chicago and the Pulitzer Prize-winning “The Good War”

[Justine · Rating 3 out of 5]

enjoyable (though rambling) reminisces of the Golden Age of radio, from one of its stars. they don't make men with Art's noble blend of work ethic, humor and family values anymore! inspiring to read about someone who truly loved his work.

A wonderful history of radio AND a wonderful story of a radio and television personality often on the fringe of greatness.
