We’ve Got Quite a Few Friends

WNEW AM had…has long standing relationships with their listeners, many spanning generations.

WNEW1130.com celebrates the memory of our fan favorite,

Dr. Leo S. Halpern
North Arlington, New Jersey

Growing up in Northern New Jersey in the 1960s my late father, Leo, was a Dentist. WNEW radio was playing in the waiting room for patients. That’s where I got my first exposure to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and the entire entourage…naturally MCd by William B. Williams. Great time in music. All the best, Ted Halpern. <Dr. Halpern’s son>

I would like to recognize that Dr. Halpern was a freelance photographer for The Star Ledger and Morristown Daily Record. He won national awards and his work was exhibited at several museums…He also volunteered as a dentist for the St. Edmonds Home for Crippled Children in Philadelphia and the Unwed Mothers Florence Crittenden Home in Newark. He was a World War II U.S. Navy veteran, having served with the rank of lieutenant commander as ship dentist aboard the USS Randall.
