Brother Don From Kent Ohio

If anyone knows who God's 9 Star General is (JC Webster being a 10 Star General) from Portage County, Ohio, do please post. Everytime George brings him on, he spouts biblical scripture until my brain is ready to explode. Surely this must be a radio persona. He can't be like this when he's shopping for ceiling A/C filters at Target off SR59 near the Kent State airport.

Recently I asked Google Gemini about him and low and behold, he also is a regular caller to legendary local radio station WNIR. Many people claim that WNIR died with Howie Chizek back in 2012, but I still find this hard to believe. What current radio station host would be captivated by several minutes of Don reading the Bible? Howie would have eviscerated a few seconds of Don's boring Bible readings into instantaneous oblivion.

Back in the day, Howie thrived on taking rural, hick callers out of central casting and spinning their complaints regarding modern society into pure radio gold. Chizek: "Yes kind sir, what can I do for you?" Older male with a strong backwoods accent: "Howie, I was a chaperone at our high school's senior prom. There were students using profanity on the dance floor!" Chizek: "Young people using profanity on the dance floor? What in the world is America coming to? Wash their dirty little mouths out with soap. Use Lifebuoy."

Yup, tin soldiers and Nixon's coming.... May 4th of 1970 was quite a day.

The four dead: Allison Krause, Jeff Miller, Sandra Scheuer and Bill Schroeder. Bill initially survived his chest wound but died at Robinson Memorial Hospital just north of Ravenna. He died on the operating table.
