News Dire. JIM BOYD wrote in a post on the WHO website, "There is a hole right now in the WHO Radio Family ... a hole that won't close easily and there is a chair in our newsroom that will be very, very difficult to fill.  That's what happens when you have a man the caliber of DICK LAYMAN on your team.  Our prayers go out to his wife, JANET, and daughter MEREDITH."
