• Years at WGBH: 1970-1972 (when I left to accept a position with National Public Radio in Washington)
• Jobs at GBH: Radio reporter for WGBH-FM and host of “The Ford Hall Forum”

WGBH offered me my first job after graduating from the Boston University School of Communication. I covered state and local government for FM news and hosted “The Ford Hall Forum” in its 1971 season. I worked with Bob Carey, Judy Stoia, Paula Apsell, Rebecca Eaton, and other remarkable professionals (Bill Bucyck, Bill Cavness, Nat Johnson et al.)

After WGBH, I worked for NPR, the BBC in London, Associated Press Radio, The Christian Science Monitor’s Radio and TV outlets, CNN in New York and Atlanta, and The Weather Channel. I also worked for local public radio/TV stations in Tucson, Columbus (Ohio), and New York.

I live now in South Georgia (Thomasville) with my wife, not far from our daughter in Tallahassee, Florida.
