"Shotgun Tom" Kelly Receives an Award Much Greater Than His Recent Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame....(Not!)

Smitty and Mike B. recently helped Galaxy Good Guy "Shotgun Tom" Kelly (center) locate a prominent place on Shotgun's office wall for the Excellence in Journalism award that Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site received late last year by the San Diego Press Club. "Shotgun Tom" is a regular guest on Galaxy. Our interview with him talking about his recently awarded star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was chosen as a third place winner in the Talk Radio category of the Excellence in Journalism contest competition. "Shotgun Tom" is a legendary Top 40 Deejay who can be heard weekdays from 3 to 7 on K-EARTH 101 in Los Angeles.
