Bruce has often been accused of being miscast. In his top 40 radio days, people would say, "you should be doing rock"; rock radio people would say, "you should be doing talk"; and talk radio people would say, "Hmm, sounds like you should be doing mornings in a music format." Like Napoleon in exile, he was a DJ without a format. This, of course, has led to extensive psychotherapy, the results of which are still questionable. Nonetheless, KFBK, in a moment either of social compassion or alcohol-induced delirium, decided to offer him a job. Despite being a native New Yorker, he began his radio career in the erotic Appalachian foothills after already having launched a promising career as a college professor. The promise was that he might someday marry the dean's daughter and be set for life. Instead, he left the cozy confines of Academia to enter the nomadic world of radio and has since seen enough of the country to qualify as employee of the month at Rand McNally. Rather than pursue the exciting world of cartography he began doing his show door-to-door, simultaneously maintaining a side business selling flaccid Ginsu knives. Summers he toiled as a Samurai Frisbee thrower while seeking to invent a safer safety pin before moving up to the posh broadcasting job of producer at Z-100's legendary "Z-Morning Zoo" in New York. He returned to the airwaves as the talented, more attractive, better paid half of a morning show in Buffalo. But after being offered the choice of radio in California or the head coaching job of the Buffalo Bills after four straight Super Bowl losses, he decided he'd have better luck out west. Plus, he truly enjoyed the overpriced housing market. Despite his mild eccentricity of carrying a quart of sterno in his canteen and wearing the full dress uniform of a French Foreign Legionnaire, he functions quite well with his occasionally wistful charm and boyish good looks. Elsewhere, he's been a NYC cab driver, performed extensively as a concert pianist, played college baseball, coached semi-pro football, and built a community youth football program with 8 teams financed mostly out of his own pocket. And somewhere in there he managed to get a PhD in music, so he's even a doctor. "Maimes," as his friends have called him, was born at night --but not last night-- and lives with his wife, dogs, cat and two parrots named Elvis and Costello at an unlisted address in what can mildly be describe as "Stepford Wives" country. He hates it, but sometimes gets to escape to his farm in upstate Greenland. Thank goodness for global warming! He has a precocious young daughter who clearly got her looks from mom, but who is likely to drain dad's savings in a relentless if not rhetorical pursuit of higher learning.

Class Reunion
Saturday 07-12-2008 12:56am PT
If you were in Ms Burns' 5th and 6th grade class at Sunset Elementary School in Bellevue, WA, back in 1970, she wants to hear from you. Kathy Burns Rosen wants to return to former students' letters they wrote 38 years ago. It was a class assignment for the kids: Write themselves a letter about what they wanted the world to look like in 10 years. Ms Burns promised to return the letters in 1980, but it slipped her mind and she forgot about them. She recently discovered the letters in a trunk belonging to her mom. Overwhelmed with guilt, she tried to reach via the Bellevue School District and countless internet searches but with little luck --sites like classmate.com and reunion.com haven't helped much (now there's a ringing endorsement!). She now lives in Fort Lauderdale, FL, age 62, and contacted local media back up in Washington State hoping to get some answers. Has it helped? Yup. One reader of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer personally knows families of several of the kids and has started searching for others while another reader working on a Master's in Library Science and offered to do research for her. And in the course of our Friday interview with Ms Rosen (7/11), a former student listening online called (they chatted) and another e-mailed Ms Rosen directly. Pretty cool. If you know anyone who can help, you can e-mail her, too: rosenkb@yahoo.com with the subject line reading, "Letters from 1970." Read the cover letter she's going to include with the return letters. We'll follow the story and keep you posted.
