Radio DJ Talent Is Near-Drowning Victim

Allison Harte, a disc jockey who spent 31 years on the airwaves in Grand Rapids area and elsewhere, is in critical condition after being discovered unconscious at the bottom of a pool at her home, according to a story by Nate Reens at The Grand Rapids Press.

Harte, 58, was found about 7:45 p.m. Tuesday by her husband, who called rescuers and was performing CPR at the time emergency workers arrived at their home in the 8000 block of Young Avenue in Cannon Township.

Harte, whose real name is Prudence Dykstra, is probably best remembered for her tenure at WLAV-FM (96.9), where she worked for 10 years in the 1980s. She also worked at WKLQ-FM (107.3) and Clear Channel's WBFX-FM (101.3).
