To dads everywhere - Happy Father's Day!
Rick Moravec, father of Northland Morning host Luke Moravec, grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota in the Highland Park neighborhood. Rick became a father in 1979 when his first-born arrived on Father's Day. A year and a half later, Luke arrived on Rick's birthday.
Like many of a certain generation, early rock and roll made an impression on Rick, which led to his first album purchase. His first concert was at the Minneapolis Auditorium witnessed from the nose-bleed section. And his guilty pleasure song pulls at the heartstrings and makes him think of his wife of nearly fifty years. "I get a little emotional over it."
