[BC] An independent station owner

[Bailey, Scott]

Willie,
    He's not the only one.  Van Irwin Jr., owner of WNAH-AM in Nashville
is 86 years old. He still comes in to work everyday. Mr. Irwin has owned
WNAH since 1949. He applied for the CP and put it on the air officially
December 24, 1949 at 6 AM. WNAH was Nashville first daytimer.

This is a great article! I'm surprised by the lack of comments about it.

Here's a guy in his 80's, still going strong and staying the course with
his 
station. May his tribe increase.

Willie...
