(Fox News) – Nationally syndicated radio and TV personality David "Kidd"

Kraddick’s death was confirmed by his company, YEA Networks.  "Kidd

A statement from YEA Networks said that Kraddick died of a brain aneurysm
while attending a golf tournament in New Orleans to benefit his charity "Kidd’s
Kids."

"All of us with YEA Networks and the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning crew are
heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend and leader. Kidd devoted his life
to making people smile every morning, and for 21 years his foundation has
been dedicated to bringing joy to thousands of chronically and terminally ill
children," the statement from YEA Networks read in part.

inside the old fire alarm center.

When you called Portland’s 911 in the past, they transferred you to the Portland Fire
Alarm Telegraph dispatch center on NE 21st Ave near the I-84 overpass. The building
(shown below) is now the sales office for Sunshine Dairy.
