From your “almost” namesake

From: C.V. Tune

Hey Charlie: Forty years ago, when I was in grade school and 93 KHJ was in its heyday, you were my favorite Boss Jock. So much in fact that I started using just my first initial “C” in front of the rest of my name. So with my real middle name of “Van” and real last name “Tune”, my classmates started calling me “Charlie Van Tuna.” And that stuck with me. Later, in my career as an automotive journalist and ESPN TV and radio commentator, using “C. Van Tune” always got commented on. You have no idea how many times I’ve been asked if I am related to you. So, I just wanted to say thanks for your unintentional help with the future career of this former 9 year old, way back in 1968.

Best regards,

Van

PS: I would love to have an autographed photo. Just let me know what I need to do.
