 |  Doc Thompson
Doc Thompson grew up in a small town in Ohio called Ashtabula (translation: river of many fish.) He has a VERY large extended family located all over the country. Doc has been fired by great radio stations all across the country. He spent most of his career in Cleveland but has also worked full-time in Lincoln, Las Vegas, and Albuquerque. He is a 5 time Marconi Award (the Academy Award of radio) winner for radio excellence. Laughing and making people laugh are important. His medium of choice is of course radio. He dabbles in many styles with sarcasm and satire always present. Although he is candid and forthright he loves good spirited practical jokes which prompted a former co-worker to say “If only Doc would use his powers for good instead of evil.” Over the past few years Doc has focused on honoring his American Birthright of Freedom by "living life to the fullest" and "becoming the best person" he can be.

 Major General Jerry Curry
Jerry R. Curry is a statesman, a courageous soldier, a diplomat, and a government leader. Curry is a man of great intelligence, integrity, honesty, and proven character. He is a person who has taken a stand for his country and devoted his life in its service. He is a person who has lived out in practice what others just seem to talk about. Jerry was born into humble beginnings--the son of a steel worker--and like most Americans has worked hard to better himself. He recognizes that only through the unique opportunities offered by this nation was he able to succeed. He enlisted in the U.S. Army as a Private during the Korean War and rose to the rank of a two star Major General--an uncommon achievement and a near impossibility for a soldier of mixed European, African and Native American ancestry.
