McHistory: Paul Rhymer, the man who put Bloomington 'on the air'

It's said that good writing is the soul of radio. A Bloomington-Normal boy made good - exemplified that adage. It's hard to dramatize the failure of the butcher to deliver meat or the business of buying a Christmas present for the boss. Yet Paul Rhymer did so for a big nationwide audience on the NBC radio network during the golden age of radio in the 1930s and 1940s. He was the man who put Bloomington 'on the air.'
