Tonight (Sunday, August 22nd) is the last TO YOUR HEALTH hour I will be hosting on WGN Radio. As you may know I took a month's vacation recently.

I really liked it!!

It also was apparent to me that I could be spending more of my time on leisure pursuits while I'm young enough and healthy enough. I also want to spend more time with my five young grandchildren and to make sure that my children's efforts to shield them from my bad habits do not go unchallenged!

Five years ago, I asked for this weekly hour of health information and WGN management kindly provided it. Now I have asked them to relieve me of the responsibility. You should know there is nothing I have done in my many years in broadcasting that gave me more satisfaction than the weekly opportunity to bring you in-depth health information. It has been a wonderful experience. I learned a lot each week by talking to some of the best minds in the health field. I hope you did too. Thank you for your interest in the program.

I have expressed an interest in continuing with the station in the future as a weekend news anchor, but I'll be taking more frequent vacations from those duties, too.

Again, thank you for listening and for being one of the hundreds who asked for our weekly health headlines.

Best wishes and good health,

Lyle Dean
