monologue on why he was leaving. Freda was the crux of his decision, he explained. She had been his angel, the one person who loved him no matter what. She'd been not only important to the show for the show, but she was his most avid support and, without her, he no longer had it in him to continue. Freda was his past and now that she was gone, the show did little more than remind him of her every single day in ways too painful.

Don, almost apologetically but no less as happy as a schoolboy in love, explained that he now has a new lady. He felt it was only fair to his memory of Freda, his love for his comrades on the show, his family, and, yes, his new love, that he move on to a different stage in his life. And that's fair. The radio world will forever identify Don Geronimo with Freda, his loving and ever-suffering (though not really) wife.

Maybe it is time for him to let her be his pastnever forgotten, always held dear, but no longer his qualifierand allow himself to open up to the next chapter in his life.

NOTE: The Don & Mike time slot continued on Monday, 4/11/08 . . . with Mike O'Meara taking the reins of the now so-named Mike O'Meara Show. After all these years - it's finally his turn.
