"My name is Liz Bixler Cruze and I grew up in Kennett about the time you are talking about. I remember KBOA very well because my boyfriend Robert Miles Goldsmith was one of the announcers about 1954 or 1953. I remember this very well because I sometime "snuck" in the station at night when he was announcing and visited him. My father wrote some radio plays and they put them on the radio.

The first time I was on the radio was when I wrote a theme for the library and won 1st place and it was read on the radio. My father was Clay Bixler and he was the assistant postmaster of Kennett. He did a lot of writing and was published as H.C. Arnuth a combination of Hornersville, Caruth, Senath and Arbyrd. He was also the principal of Arbyrd HS before moving to Kennett. Anyway I would like to see Bob’s name on the list as an employee. I heard he recently passed away in Jonesboro. "
