Maxine Humphries joined WGRV-AM in Greenville, Tennessee in 1953 after working at Eastman during World War II. Tuesday was her final day on the job, according to TV station WBIR, where she focused on local news and funeral announcements building up a following that the station says netted her a 40-share in the ratings at one point. Her comment to the TV station about moving on, "It's been a responsible job-- let's say that and leave it there. But it's been a rewarding job too and I'm thankful," (picture courtesy WBIR TV).
