"Bob Allen" Gordon Van Waes       Like his long-time sidekick, "Adam Jones", Gordon Van Waes has had an excellent solo career in radio. Born in Kewanee, Illinois, the Moline Station, WQUA, was a solid beginning. H also served as program director there. In those first ten years, he rarely saw the talent who was to become his eventual "partner in comedy", but in 1976, a management request hooked him up with "Adam Jones" and fun began for listeners when they moved to WAKR in Akron in 1978. The duo became a reliable part of morning radio for some ten warm-hearted and humorous years. Gordon has also been very active in sports broadcasting and enjoys working as a play-by-play announcer and continuing as part of the program management team at the station.
