Mary Ann and Mike Cleary (2004)

Mike Cleary and his wife,
Mary Ann, are noted travel,
wine and food enthusiasts.

Frank Dill is away on jury duty, so Mike has taken over the KNBR morning show for the day, with an assist from flying traffic reporter Hap Harper and a surprise visit from the ever-curmudgeonly Tom Haggerty.

The broadcast heard here also includes news headlines with Mark Provost, a visit with Peter Laufer (who is working on rescuing and restoring a painting by a famed local artist), and an interesting commercial voiced by the legendary Casey Kasem. touting low "chicken feed fares" on Continental Airlines.

Mike Cleary joined KNBR in 1970 as vacation relief, before moving to the afternoon shift. He was elected to the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame in 2007 with the second class to be inducted, one year after Frank Dill, who was inducted with the initial BARHOF class. Hap Harper was inducted in 2008.
