I doubt there are 10 people on this board who knew who she was, but with her died Backlash LaRue and Morgan Mundane.

A guy named [Steve Cannon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Cannon_(radio)) was the afternoon drive-time announcer on 830 WCCO-AM out of the Cities for all of my growing-up years. He retired 10 years ago so Ma and the gang have been off the air for a while, but now she’s not coming back as Steve died of cancer yesterday.

Bummer. ☹
