Hazard's Glory Years

Max Smith, who would became a radio announcer on WKIC in Hazard in 1948, takes us back over 60 years. His trip to Hazard was his first time out of Minnesota and at the age of 19 he'll take us along for the ride. Would he experience a culture shock and how would he adjust to life in the mountains of East Kentucky? WSGS.com welcomes Max to the daily Hazard blog from the past. His story begins at his hometown in Aitkin, Minnesota when one of his friends told him about a Radio School in Minneapolis. Each day you can follow his journey on this blog.
