Broadcaster regales Rotarians with career tales

Seneca Rotarians this afternoon heard a rich and powerful voice that belongs to a veteran of the broadcast industry. From radio-television fame, Jim Bohannon spoke of a career primarily in radio news and talk shows—a career that started in his hometown of Lebanon, Missouri. It’s a career that allows Bohannon to interview many of the country’s newsmakers and, as he explains it, lets him pontificate on almost any subject. The part-time resident of Oconee County’s Chickasaw Point home development, Bohannon has collected a life time of stories—many of which while serious when they happened are humorous now. Such as the day Bohannon, as a pool radio reporter, walking the streets of Moscow accidentally bumped the head of the wife of the Soviet Union’s premier. A KGB agent was not amused. That story is being aired today on 96.3/WGOG NEWS.
