An Endorsement from Walter Cronkite

As the younger sister of Carroll S. James Jr., l can relate that his radio career started as a child with a pretend station in the basement of our home. His first show on the air began when he was 15 and convinced a manager of WJEJ in Hagerstown, Maryland, that a high school program was needed on Saturdays. Carroll loved working to fill in for regular staff when they needed time off. When he was a junior in high school, a friend of our Aunt Virginia James, Walter Cronkite, tested Carroll for several hours one Saturday and told our parents that Carroll already had a developed voice and style. He encouraged going to Princeton for a solid education — and the rest is history!
