George Putnam is an amazing man. He has worked as a newsman, reporter, and commentator for most of the major broadcasting organizations in the United States. During World War II, he served first in the Army and later as a First Lieutenant in the Marine Corps, winning two citations. He has been a fixture on the Los Angeles news scene since 1951. Did I mention that George is now 92 years young? He is. And he is still as sharp as a tack.

Mr. Putnam holds the distinction of being one reporter (maybe the only one) who interviewed all four of the following notable war heroes: Sergeant Alvin York, Audie Murphy, Joe Hooper, and Col. David Hackworth. He has covered every presidency since Herbert Hoover. He is the West Coast's most honored newsman.

George is a rancher, horse breeder, and entertainer. He has appeared with celebrity greats such as Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, and George Burns and Gracie Allen. George Putnam is also a constitutionalist.

Recently, George invited me to be the guest on his live radio show. http://crni.net/?module=profiles&eid=4 He had read my column, "You Might Be A Constitutionalist If..." http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2006/cbarchive_20060808.html and was enthusiastic to discuss it with me. And while I do radio interviews most every week of my life on stations from coast to coast, I cannot remember when I enjoyed a radio interview more.
