Synopsis
Bob Chancellor became interested in journalism while attending what is now Missouri State University in Springfield. After working for newspapers, radio and television stations, he was hired in 1963 by Voice of America (The United States government's official overseas radio network) as a news writer, editor and eventually, a foreign correspondent.Married to his college sweetheart, Linda, and with their four children, they began an adventurous life in Bangkok, Thailand; Tokyo, Japan; Nairobi, Kenya; Jerusalem, Israel; Johannesburg, South Africa; and in Houston, Texas. As Bob traveled to cover news in more than 35 countries, Linda coped with foreign living, servants, schools and raising children in an unusual environment. Upon retirement after 26 years, Bob and Linda moved back to Springfield, Missouri, where Bob became involved in civic affairs and was elected to the City Council.Bob discusses covering wars, revolutions and political ferment from Vietnam to Israel, from Uganda to Zimbabwe and Namibia , the space program and the Watergate conspiracy trial; both the serious and the fun side of journalism. He begins with his family's arrival in the United States, his youthful days in a small Missouri town, his unplanned entry into journalism and ends with his views of the profession today.Linda, meanwhile, remembers making homes for her family in six countries, nine cities and 25 different houses. Despite the tribulations and because of the triumphs, Bob and Linda are still happily married after 53 years.
