Surprise Guests

Additional Photos from our luncheon honoring Rick Dees

A distinguished panel of friends turned out to relate stories about PPB Honoree Rick Dees at the January 23rd celebrity luncheon in his honor. Rick is shown here with noted TV and motion picture producer Jerry Bruckheimer, famed TV entertainment reporter David Sheehan and KNBC's very funny weathercaster, Fritz Coleman. (David Keeler photo)

During Rick Dees' decades-long run as KIIS-FM's top-rated morning show host, he often called upon the multiple voice talents of his wife, Julie McWhirter Dees, and other family members to entertain his morning drive-time audience. Julie is an accomplished voice actress and impressionist, best known for her work as Jeannie in the animated version of Jeannie and as Bubbles in Jabberjaw. (David Keeler photo)

PPB President Chuck Street, who worked with Rick Dees for many years as his on-air helicopter traffic reporter, socialized with Rick and one of today's busiest TV and motion picture producers, Jerry Bruckheimer. Both men related humorous stories about their association with the luncheon honoree. (David Keeler photo)

An LA radio icon and an LA TV icon got together before the January 23rd celebrity luncheon at Sportsmen's Lodge. Rick Dees and PPB Past President Tom Hatten posed for photographer David Keeler in the green room. Tom is also a member of PPB's Diamond Circle. (David Keeler photo)

It was an Armed Forces Radio reunion at the Rick Dees luncheon for two of LA's former disc jockeys and PPB Board Member Gerry Fry. Both Jim Pewter (left) and Gene Price (center) entertained military personnel around the world with their daily programs recorded in Hollywood and sent overseas. Gerry was the AFRTS Director of Programming at that time.

Mrs. Fred (Lois) Travalena (left) and her son Cory joined the late Casey Kasem's daughter, Kerri, in greeting Rick Dees prior to the PPB celebrity luncheon in his honor on January 23rd. This luncheon was especially social as many of Rick Dees' former colleagues and friends gathered in Sportsmen's Lodge to honor him. (David Keeler photo)

Dais guests who regaled the large crowd at the Rick Dees celebrity luncheon included David Sheehan, TV entertainment reporter; Joe Cipriano, network announcer and voice-over artist; and Channel 4, KNBC weathercaster Fritz Coleman. Joining the group on the right is new PPB member and former LA TV news anchor, Harold Greene. (David Keeler photo)

Showing another prestigious award for his collection, Rick Dees proudly displays PPB's Art Gilmore Career Achievement award, presented to him at the conclusion of the January 23rd celebrity luncheon by PPB President Chuck Street. (David Keeler photo)
