Tony Hall Shares Thoughts On Voinovich's Death

Alliance to End Hunger

Former Ohio Governor George Voinovich died on Sunday. He was 80 years old. Those who worked with him describe him as a  “titan” in Ohio Politics.  Former Ohio State legislator and U.S. Congressman Tony Hall says he and Voinovich became close friends in their time serving Ohio. Hall spoke to WYSO's Jerry Kenney by phone on Monday and shared his memories of the Governor. 

Tony Hall currently serves as the Director for The Alliance to End Hunger. Much of his focus has been on the Miami Valley and he continues to visit the area.

Jerry began volunteering at WYSO in 1991 and hosting Sunday night's Alpha Rhythms in 1992. He joined the YSO staff in 2007 as Morning Edition Host, then All Things Considered. He's hosted Sunday morning's WYSO Weekend since 2008 and produced several radio dramas and specials . In 2009 Jerry received the Best Feature award from Public Radio News Directors Inc., and was named the 2023 winner of the Ohio Associated Press Media Editors Best Anchor/News Host award. His current, heart-felt projects include the occasional series Bulletin Board Diaries, which focuses on local, old-school advertisers and small business owners. He has also returned as the co-host Alpha Rhythms.
