Remembering Hugh Danaceau

Hugh Danaceau, WCLV's former news director who died in 2003, was one of 20 Broadcast Legacy Award honorees yesterday at the annual Awards for Excellence in Broadcasting luncheon given by the Cleveland Association of Broadcasters. A photo of the award will appear soon on WCLV's website, wclv.com.

When I arrived at WCLV in 2001, I was introduced to Hugh. In the middle of February he wore shorts, sturdy running shoes, a long-sleeved T-shirt, a kerchief tied around his neck, and a few days' growth of beard. I wondered who this "mountain man" was. He turned out to be a beloved colleague who provided matchless context to living in Cleveland.
