Red is a great guy and I do wish him all the best!
I've heard complaints about him being obsessed with self-promotion, but I've never seen it that way. Case in point: by pure accident, I airchecked the last hour of his Morning Show (which was simulcast here in Edmonton) on his 45th anniversary on the air. And he didn't mention that fact once on the air. I've also had a half dozen contacts with him over the last dozen years, and none have been anything but friendly and helpful.
