WVPO News Director.


February 1971, just out of the U.S. Navy, I no sooner returned to the Pocono Mountains to live in Dee and Dale's house on Knox Avenue than I got a call from The Voice of the Poconos.

I was immediately hired as News Director for WVPO Radio in Stroudsburg, PA, a large college town fifteen miles south of Mount Pocono.

The boss said he hired me because I had worked at KTRH, an important news station in Houston that had given Dan Rather his first job.
