In 1993, the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia inducted its second group of honorees into our "Hall of Fame." There were eight of them that year. The "Hall of Fame" was instituted a year earlier (in 1992) when we inducted 14 people.
"The Class of 1993" as we often called them, was made up of excellent choices. They were:
| Esther & Stan Lee Broza |
| Taylor Grant |
| Ray Green |
| Ragan Henry |
| Lew Klein |
| Edmund "Ned" Rogers |
| By Saam |
The event was an afternoon luncheon at the Bellevue, Broad and Walnut Streets in center city Philadelphia. Former Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia President (our 29th, 1991-1992) Doris Lenz presented the awards to the inductees. During this era, our "Hall of Fame" luncheon and our "Person of the Year" banquet were two different events. Now, they are one. The date is Tuesday, June 22, 1993.
We are lucky to have this wonderful recording which has survived in near perfect condition. It was recorded by Dave Abramson, our 32nd President (1996-1997) and our 32nd Chairman of the Board (1997 - 1999).
