I was saddened to read only Wednesday, and too late to attend his funeral, that another of our media stalwarts, Agustus "Gus" Shannon, had died. I knew Shannon in those difficult days of the merger of state radio and television into what became ICN/NBN, a coming together of the 610 Radio network, TTT and AVM.
His engineering colleagues would know better than I his capabilities as a broadcast engineer. I do know he was well respected in his field and was responsible for the training of many in his area of expertise. He was a courteous and gentle man, well regarded by those of us who knew him quite late in his career.
May he rest in peace.
