“Charles H. Harrison, station manager, is a native Missourian. He was born in Troy, just north of St. Louis. A graduate of Southwest Missouri State College, he taught school in Troy for two years and later spent three years as a sales engineer with the A.P. Green Fire Brick Co., of Mexico, working in Missouri and New York. He entered naval service while in New York. Charlie joined KBOA as a sports announcer in 1948 and has since that time earned the friendship of the coaches, players and fans of Southeast Missouri by his conscientious coverage of the local football and basketball games. Harrison became manager of KBOA in 1951, succeeding Bill Cate. He has continued his sportscasting in addition to his duties in the front office. Mrs. Harrison, the former Miss Jo Douglass of Senath, is a teacher in the Kennett Junior High School. They have one son, Charles Douglass, 15. The Harrisons live at 606 Wayne St. in Kennett.” (Daily Dunklin Democrat, 1957)
