Clint Formby
John Clinton Formby, known as Clint Formby (December 22, 1923 – July 31, 2010),〔Net Detective People Search〕 was a veteran radio broadcaster called the "Old Philosopher" based in the small city of Hereford, Texas, the seat of Deaf Smith County in the Texas Panhandle. His daily broadcast ran continuously on his KPAN AM & FM country-music station since October 10, 1955. Eventually reduced to five minutes in length, Formby's commentary was the oldest continuously-running broadcast by a single host in radio history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Henri Brickey, Hereford radioman still going after decades )〕
==Early life, education, and military==
Formby was born in McAdoo in Dickens County, also in West Texas, to John C. Formby (1902–1989), a Rural Free Delivery carrier, and the former Willie Elsby (1903–1994).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Social Security Death Index )〕 John and Willie married in 1922, and Clint was their only child. Clint Formby was the paternal grandson of Marshall Clinton Formby, Sr. (1877–1957) and the former Rosa Mae Freeman (1882–1971).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography: Mae and Marshall Formby )〕 He attended public schools in Plainview and then Dickens County, where he graduated in 1942 from McAdoo High School. He played basketball, tennis, and was quarterback on the six-man football team at McAdoo. He then began college at Texas Tech University in Lubbock.〔
However, he soon left college to enlist in the United States Army. He served as a staff sergeant and medic, having been attached to the 235th General Hospital in Marseille, France. He remained in Switzerland after the end of the war in April 1945 and attended the University of Basel in Basel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clint Formby obituary )〕 After the war, he returned to Texas Tech where he met and married the first official Tech beauty queen, the former Margaret Clark (July 12, 1929–April 10, 2003).〔 Margaret, who was reared on a ranch near Van Horn. She founded the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, first in the Hereford library and later in a large modern building in Fort Worth. While a student at Texas Tech, Formby worked as a carpenter and painter during the summer of 1948 to help his maternal uncle, Marshall Formby, construct KPAN AM in Hereford. Clint Formby's was the first voice carried on the new radio station when it went on the air on August 4, 1948, exactly sixty-two years to the date of his own funeral.〔
In addition to his business pursuits, Marshall Formby was a Democratic state senator, a state highway commissioner, and a 1962 gubernatorial candidate. Clint Formby was an older first cousin of state Senator Robert L. Duncan, a Lubbock Republican. Clint Formby practically grew up with Duncan's mother, Mae Robena Formby Duncan (1921–2009), his aunt who was only two years his senior.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robena Formy Duncan )〕
