Sid posed for a 2018
Mpls.St.Paul Magazine profile. Portrait by Cameron Wittig
One Sunday morning in the late 1970s, Dave Mona performed a live audition of sorts for a 25-minute radio show built around sports columnist Sid Hartman, because ’CCO farm director Chuck Lilligren was tired of working Sundays. The show aired before the taped Mormon Tabernacle Choir hour from Salt Lake City.
“Sid told me after that it wasn’t going to work out and he was going to quit so they’d have to cancel the show,” Mona recalls. Hartman did quit the show by dying in October, 40-plus years later.
