Dick says he may have only worked four years at WSB, but it is an experience that is a highlight of his life. Dick wrote the following to us in 2004: "After working vacation relief - all shifts - during the summer of 1957, I was assigned to the morning shift, first hosting the Merry-Go-Round and mid-morning and early afternoon music shows. I switched to the morning news shift and was working that when I left in 1961. I was already on board when Aubrey Morris was hired, which led to our stellar live report of a wedding atop Stone Mountain. There were some serious stories, also, such as integration of the University of Georgia and Georgia State. One of my most memorial reports was when I went to the Warm Springs Institute in January of 1958 to cover the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. I got to interview Eleanor Roosevelt and Dr. Jonas Salk, developer of the Salk Polio Vaccine. That one aired on NBC's Monitor. "
YEARS AT WSB: 1957 to 1961
PRIOR: WDAK and WRBL Radio and TV in Columbus, WLAG in LaGrange and WBML in Macon.
AFTER: After leaving WSB in 1961, Dick returned to Columbus as program manager for three Jim Woodruff radio stations. From that heI morphed into a TV anchorman and reporter which he did for the rest of his broadcasting career, working at WRBL-TV in Columbus, WAGA-TV in Atlanta, WIS-TV in Columbia, South Carolina and finally at WTVM-TV in Columbus.
(2004) Dick writes the following: "I retired in 2000, live in Midland, Georgia and still do some documentary work for WTVM-TV. My latest, which has aired once this year, 2004, and will air again soon, What's A Powder Monkey?, is the story of the Port Columbus National Civil War Naval Museum. If you are a history buff, you'll love the relatively new museum and I heartily recommend it if you are ever in the Columbus area."

Aubrey Morris is one of the most dominant figures in the history of WSB. He is considered perhaps the finest reporter ever and was responsible for teaching scores of great reporters who went on to great careers in network radio and TV. Read the full story of Aubrey Morris on our tribute page.
