In memory of Moe Lauzier
Moe Lauzier was my mother's husband and my father. He was a WRKO talk-radio host in Boston for 27 years. He was born March 22, 1942, and he died April 28, 2022. Jerry Williams, a Hall of Fame broadcaster, called him “the last gift of Jerry Williams to talk radio.” This is a family tribute, written by his son, Arthur.
His years on the radio
He worked at WALE, and he wrote for the John Birch Society. His break came at WSAR. Jerry Williams discovered him there and brought him to WRKO.
At WHJJ, his show was the one right before Cianci and right after Eileen Violet.
For years, Boston had him on Saturday mornings, five to ten, the same hours, for about 23 years. He stayed on for about two years after that, with shorter hours, first on different days and then on both days.
WRKO's Moe Lauzier signs off after 25 years. The film plays here. It does not send you to another site.

Mission Statement
This is the mission of Issues of the Day.
I did this out of love for country, and for the preservation of that same country for my children and my grandchildren, for my family's children and everybody in my family, and for the next generation. It is our job to hand it off the way that we found it. I will be doing this as long as the Star-Spangled Banner — the United States flag — still flies.
So don't tread on me.
