Rollin Post

Born 1930, New York City. Came to California in 1944 and attended Webb School in Claremont, CA. Graduated in 1945. Attended S.F. State 1946-1947. Enlisted in the Army 1948. Attended U.C. Berkeley 1949 and graduated 1952. Moved to L.A. and got job as an usher for CBS. In 1953 became morning copyboy for CBS radio news bureau in Hollywood. Met my wife to be, who was a secretary at CBS. In 1957 went to work as a writer for Paul Coates, who was a columnist for the Los Amgeles Mirror and who was starting a syndicated nightly interview show. It was the first interview show on TV--preceding Mike Wallace. By now I was married to my wife Diane. We have been married 48 years. In 1961 we left L.A. with two little girls and came to San Francisco. I got a job at KPIX as a morning editor. Within a year the station decided they wanted news reporters on the air. I became a reporter and- since I liked politics--they gave me all the political stories. After five years at KPIX, I was lured over to KQED which was still doing Newsroom and gave me a chance to have more time on the air. That all led to KRON making me an offer I couldn't refuse. I was KRON political repoter for twenty years/ I retired so I could have Friday lunch in North Beach. This is more than you need to know! In summary, I have a wife, two daughters, a son and five grandchildren.
