He used to volunteer at the Sanbornton Historical Society. Met him there a few years ago. Made my day.

I attribute my love of maps to watching his weathercasts on the early morning news in the 1970s when I was a boy.

He was in the Coast Guard in WWII. There was some story I'd heard about how he saved a number of ships by predicting a storm no one knew was coming. In addition to being a well-known broadcaster, he really was one of the founders of modern meteorology.
