Richard R. Polen retired in July, 2000, after
30 years in higher education at both Ohio University and West Virginia
University. A WVU graduate, he served as sports information director
and alumni director at WVU, and alumni director and assistant vice president
for university communications and marketing at OU. An avid record
collector, he has amassed more than 2,000 45s which are dubbed "Rupert's
Records." He hopes to soon become a "power seller" with his auction
business, but he will never sell the records! You can email him at

His Doo-Wop site is dedicated to Porky Chedwick and Val Shively, two great
ones who kept the music alive.
