How cool is this? KCDZ's Gary Daigneault gets a pretty neat honor! Who wouldn't like to be called A BIG KID :)

Joshua Tree Radio Personality Named
“Big Kid” by National Toy Industry


We all have a bit of big kid in us, some more than others do. But who is the biggest big kid in America?

Gary Daigneault, Program and News Director of KCDZ FM Z107.7 in Joshua Tree
California, has won the first annual Big Kid Award, sponsored by the Toy
Industry Association, a national trade organization of toy manufacturers.

Nominated by little sister and KCDZ FM Officer Manager Pam Fields, Gary will
be receiving the 2001 Toy Industry Association's "Big Kid Award" plaque, a
feature article in the Toy Fair Times, and the People's Choice "Toy of the
Year", to be announced February 9th.

The nomination made mention of Gary’s use of toys every morning during the
GARY AND PAT MORNING SHOW heard Monday through Friday from 6:00 - 10:00 am.

Asked about this honor, Gary said "My family, friends and co-workers already
know I'm a big kid, and now the rest of the nation will know as well."
