As a child growing up in Old Lyme, Conn., BOB LACEY bused tables and washed dishes at his father's restaurant and fully understood that food service was not to be his life's calling.

In 1986, he received an Iris Award for Best Produced Local Television Feature in the Nation for a piece on the horrors of prom night. The award is one of many Bob has received for both his broadcasting and community service.

Bob returned to radio in 1990, handling morning drive for WBT's struggling FM counterpart, WBCY (now WLNK). In 1991, managers launched a lengthy nationwide search to find a female co-host for the show. They listened to some 65 tapes, but Bob was adamant that they not hire a giggle box to laugh at his jokes. He wanted a partner who could really add to the mix. Bob & Sheri was born and, a decade later, their raucous, real-life humor is delighting listeners in more than 60 markets around the U.S.

Bob Lacey is the father of five beautiful children. When he's not sparring on the air with Sheri, he's on the golf course or carpooling to soccer practice. But make no mistake: this suburban cowboy still remembers what it's like to jam with The Doors.
