Longtime radio host, former TV journalist and popular Guntersville personality Bruce Underwood has passed away, according to a story by WHNT. Congressman Robert Aderholt also acknowledged Underwood's passing with a weekend post.

Underwood started doing radio while Alabama's governor was Jim Folsom -- Big Jim Folsom.

WHNT reported that Underwood had been doing a morning radio show on WTWX 95.9 in Guntersville since 1958. He also became one of WHNT's first reporters when they hired him to cover Marshall County in 1963. And he had been a weather observer for the National Weather Service, calling in temperatures and rainfall totals since the late 50s.

We are still looking for some good reunion photos. And, who can name all of these famous people? The one on the end is Cindy's husband; not a radio announcer.
