I was reminded of Lan twice in the last 24 hours. I just bought Bill Young's new book "Dead Air". And near the beginning, as Bill Young's first major Top 40 mentor, it was Lan Roberts, at WACO-AM in 1957. Lan also rolled Bill's car, but that is another story....
Then, about half an hour ago, I spotted three Hungarian Partridges in my back yard, a first. The end of an aircheck I recorded in 1969 has Lan reading a News story from Edmonton about enough DDT being found in Hungarian Partridges to call off the hunting season throughout Alberta.
From a three year old post by radiofan:
Here's a couple of airchecks of Lan at KJR and KYYX in Seattle.

In 1977 Lan was once again working for Pat O'Day at Pat's KYYX-FM. Here's Lan in Morning Drive from April 11, 1977 at 96 KYYX. Click Here
