Being from the Detroit area, it was pretty interesting to read a few things about my hometown in your book, Norm!
I'd known for years that original Concentration announcer, Art James was originally from Dearborn, which is just a few short minutes away from my home.
I didn't know about your appearance on the Lou Gordon Program, but I'm NOT surprised that it wasn't a pleasant one! Lou Gordon's show originated from WKBD channel 50 in Detroit, and was seen on stations owned by Kaiser Broadcasting throughout the country. He was tough with some of his guests, and there were occassions where a guest walked out on Gordon, or sometimes were told to leave the studio. I'm sorry it didn't go well for you, but again, I'm not surprised.
Some videos of interviews Lou Gordon did, can be found on youtube, including former Philadelphia mayor, Frank Rizzo, who walked out!
Less than a year after having open-heart surgery, Lou Gordon died in the spring of 1977. A special tribute program aired locally, hosted by the late NBC newsman Tom Snyder.
