We may not know, or realize, that many people we look up to as actors or sport stars are truly heroes. http://www.pbs.org/memorialdayconcert/ |
For many years, Detroit's most recognized local TV personality was (is?) weatherman Sonny Elliot. I worked with him for a while and am sure he's retired by now. What most don't know is that Sonny (not his real name), who is Jewish, was a WWII bomber pilot who was shot down over Germany and spent time in a POW camp.
On the concert, the credits generally thank "The Miller Family." Walter (father) is producer, Paul (Director) and Debbie Miller (Associate Director) are all EMMY award winning directors. Paul, was a classmate of mine in the Radio-TV school at Ohio University.
