Radio Guests for Wednesday, May 6, 2009
May 6th, 2009 Posted in Radio GuestsAt just five feet tall, Ernie Bono has been told his whole life that he would fail because he was too short. Ernie has used this challenge as a great source of motivation and fought with all his power to prove people wrong. It all started when the 5’1’’, 140 pound running back received a football scholarship to Cheyney State, one of the oldest Historically Black Colleges in America. From there, he rose through the ranks of the Prudential Insurance Company eventually becoming one of the youngest vice presidents in company history. Contact Ernie at www.erniebono.com.
How could a boy who grew up in a loving and generous household turn into a man who plots the murders of his entire family? Kent Whitaker has grappled with that question since one terrifying night in December 2003, when he returned home from a dinner out with his wife and two sons and was ambushed by a masked intruder wielding a gun.
In the chaos of a few moments, Kent heard four loud bangs and felt a searing pain in his chest. The entire family had been shot. Kent survived his wounds, and so did his oldest son Bart, but his wife of 28 years Tricia and his younger son, 19-year-old Kevin, were killed.
