Introducing Ted Mangner by GJ

Ted Mangner was a steady contributor to my newsletter, “Memoirs,” in mid-1980’s. Because he started teaching in 1926, I would guess that he was born in about 1906+/-, and therefore about 75 when we met. I recently found a note that Ted passed away on June 18, 1984, making him 78 if I’m correct. My records also show that he worked on Radio WILL (Champaign, IL,) KMOX (St. Louis,) and KMOX-TV. His radio show was called “The Country Columnist.” I have another memoir stashed somewhere and I hope to be able to post it soon. I wish he had written more for us.
