10 Questions with ... Steve MurryBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Been a part of the broadcasting industry for about 41 years and I’m proud to say that most of it has been with the same organization from the very start, I’ve worked every daypart and have experience in every area of the operation from on air to engineering to installing computer networks for the stations daily operation.
1) Would you share the story of finding out who your real idenity?
Wow, how much space do I have? I’ll try to keep it as short as possible cause this is a lifelong experience. I was about 3 or 4 years old when a woman took me from my grandfather’s front yard, and I never saw my family again. I remember doing a lot of traveling with this woman and then settling in a little town on Long Island, NY called Bayside in Queens. We later moved to Chicago where I spent most of my childhood and young adult life. From there I joined the United States Marine Corps and spent a year in Vietnam. Upon my return to Chicago, I had more questions about my identity and fewer answers. So, I went on with life and enrolled in college and relocated to Huntsville, Alabama. It was there that I got married and took a trip out of country without the document needed to verify my identity, my birth certificate. I was detained by Puerto Rican Authorities and spent hours detained with more questions about my identity than anyone should ever have to take on. A local newspaper got hold of my story, since I was a local radio personality, they wanted to print it. It was then that my story was picked up on the TV news magazine, “A Current Affair”, who contacted me to see if they could do my story. Once I agreed they hired investigators and research people to help along with the people from my Congressional Office and the State Department helping me locate my birth certificate so that I could get a passport. Two years later I discovered that I had a family, got my birth certificate, my passport and as you can imagine my whole life changed. There is more to my story but not enough space.
