R.I.P.: Longtime Vermont Morning Host Don Mullally

Vermont loses a broadcasting legend.  Don Mullally, who woke-up listeners on WSTJ 1340 AM in St. Johnsburg VT for more than 60-years has died.

He was 88-years-of-age, according to WCAX.com.

Generations of kids remember Don Mullally telling them whether school was closed for snow and reporting from the county fair.

He was on the radio up until three weeks ago when he became sick.

"When I was a child, Don was the person I listened to on the radio. We all wanted to be an announcer like Don. He really was the personification of local radio," said Bruce James of the Vermont Broadcast Group.
