WHFS Veteran Tom Terrell Dies
His show used to come on WHFS around midnight. He'd make his own dance mixes and play them on WHFS. I have lots of this guy's efforts on 7" open reels.

Terrell began DJing while a student at Howard University, where he created Washington's first reggae show in 1978, then moved on to host shows on WPFW and alternative rocker WHFS. There he launched the "Sunday Reggae Splashdown" and "Cafe C'est What?" When he wasn't on the air, Terrell was the house DJ at the dc space club and at the 930 Club. Also, he wrote about music for Jazz Times, the Village Voice, Vibe, and Washington City Paper. More at NPR's
