The experience of four South Carolinians who served with Armed Forces Radio during three different wars and in peace time in the United States is the subject of a new exhibit at McKissick Museum June 10 through July 29.

The exhibit will present a history of Armed Forces Radio and how the careers of the four South Carolina broadcasters intersected with the organization, said project director Jennifer Quier, a graduate student in the School of Library and Information Science.

Included in the exhibit will be information on Charles Batson, who ran Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's radio command in Algiers during the Second World War; Billy Powell, who served with Armed Forces Radio in divided Germany during the 1950s; Jim Burnside, who was the fifth host of Good Morning Vietnam; and Jim Whitaker, who was the voice of an Armed Forces Radio recruiting program in the United States.
