Most Shameful Secret: A long and arguably checquered career in broadcast radio, beginning with a 1st Class FCC broadcast engineering license in Pensacola, Florida in 1971, running the gamut from sales through writing and commercial production to disk jockeying, and wrapping up with half a dozen years as news director and morning anchor for a couple of Alabama radio stations.

Second Most Shameful Secret: Paying for undergraduate education by working summers and the occasional regular semester as a field archaeologist.
