How'd he get that nickname?
On Biolo's first day of work at KFIZ when he arrived from Montana to Fond du lac his now longtime friend and co-worker Mike "Silk" Casper greeted him at the front door and said,"Welcome to Fond du lac Mr. Big Sky Montana Biolo" Ever since then the name stuck. By the way...Gerald "Whitey" Towle of Fond du lac gave Silk his nickname!
