I worked with Ron at WGIR Manchester in 1975-76; he co-anchored the AM
Report with Moe Quinn, and was the Statehouse reporter.  He arrived there
from WNLC New London in about 1972-73.  Sometime during his Manchester
stint I think he worked weekends at the old WEZE Boston.  Ron left
Manchester for a short stint with WGAN in Portland, then UPI brought him
back to NH to staff their Concord bureau in the wire service's waning
years.

Later UPI moved Ron to New York to work on their radio network.  Later he
transferred to Washington.  In 1988 he moved off the UPI anchor desk to
cover the Reagan White House.

Next it was off to the Unistar Radio Network (once known as the RKO
network) for anchoring & reporting.  Just before it went bust, Ron joined
USA Today Sky Radio as Business Editor.  His recent years have been with
the CBS Marketwatch operation.

One of these days I'll get around to adding Ron's bio to the NH
Association of Broadcasters alumni page (http://nhab.org.alumni.html)
