Hi!  Nice to meet you- I’m Catherine Walters.  I have worked with Ozark Radio Network since 2003 and absolutely love radio.  I have a degree in broadcast journalism.  I started out here at ORN working Cardinal baseball games on KWPM and can still be found hosting the weekends on 1450 AM.  I also join Gary Lee for Swapline on weekdays and occasionally take his place when he likes to sleep in.  I keep the sports page updated at ozarkareanetwork.com and…… well, I pretty much live here doing a little bit of whatever needs to be done.  If you have any questions or comments feel free to e-mail me at sports@ozarkareanetwork.com.  Other than that I enjoy biking, Zumba, and hanging out with my husband along with Flip, our Border Collie and Boomer, our Maltese. 

Larry Nelson has come a long, long way from his first job in radio in 1973. Since then he's held every job you can have in a radio station. You can even find vintage Larry Nelson performances as host, interviewer, play-by-play, and color commentator on 80s AWA pro wrestling shows that still run on ESPN Classic TV.

John St. John was just a kid when he began broadcasting to his neighbors unsing a low power FM transmitter. But his career officially began at an Alabama Country station owned by the legendary Sam Phillips, of Sun Records and Elvis fame. Country music and Country radio have always been his true passion.

Marty Montell once worked at a station so small it was situated in the middle of a cow pasture. In summer, when the windows were open, a cow would occasionaly stick a head inside and moo right over the news. Nowadays, it's office building and air conditioning only, and flying airplanes in his spare time.

Jack Edwards was born a ham - he was such a talker that his mom got him a teething microphone! He once danced on-stage wearing a duck costume for a station-sponsored Charlie Daniels event. He even drove a "Haunted Hearse." Jack is married to his wife of now 25 years. together they have 8 children.
