GLEN "RED" HENTON
IS 99 TODAY. THE CELEBRATION BEGAN HERE AT KMAQ WHEN RED WAS ON MY MORNING SHOW AT 7:30 AND HE READ THE WEATHER FORECAST. THEN WE CHATTED ABOUT HIS LIFE IN MAQUOKETA, AS A POPULAR SINGER, CHAMPION HORSESHOE PITCHER AND FISHERMAN. FROM HERE HE WENT TO McDONALD'S FOR A PARTY ARRANGED BY HIS FRIEND GIB MARCUCCI OF MONMOUTH. CAKE, ICE CREAM, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG, A FEW TEARY-EYED COMMENTS BY RED AND I SAW A BIG BASKET OF CARDS. HE'S HAVING A GREAT DAY. HE'S STILL SHARP, LIVES ALONE IN HIS HOME AT 413 SOUTH JONES, CAN STILL SING LIKE A PRO.... AND WE ARE ALL NOW LOOKING FORWARD TO THE "REALLY BIG BIRTHDAY" ONE YEAR FROM NOW.
