Thank you for paying your respects,
but return here in a few
days for a full explanation of what really happened and how to
protect your own loved ones from the completely unnecessary premature
passings of so many due to a lack of properly informed and trained health care
workers, including doctors.
| In memory of my father, always one to join a just cause, I am very seriously considering the creation of a foundation to help alert us baby-boomers as we continue to reach our later years of the pitfalls and short-comings of our "modern" health care facilities, and the depletion of the critical minerals prevalent today in the "modern" diet. Keep this page handy since it will be linking to a future website that will be designed to provide life saving information. And please visit our new and developing website that will be providing information about the Crisis in our Health CARE System. It could save you, your friends and loved ones. |
At the end of the war, he rebuilt his 1937 Pontiac and took the family on an extended vacation on the return to the West Coast. Traveling in 1944 was an experience during those years before the interstates came in the latter 50s. The trip passed down the East Coast to the Cumberland Gap, Harper's Ferry, Lookout Mountain Tennessee, the Badlands of South Dokata, Mt. Rushmore to his birth place of Gibbon Nebraska and his hometown of Kearney.
Then to Seattle and Tacoma to visit part of the family there, and then south to Los Angeles to the home in North Hollywood which they had built in 1939.
Returning to KNX-am Radio (CBS owned clear channel serving LA) and his pre-war position as announcer, he was one of the host announcers on the very popular "Meet the Misses". During the late 40s he had several radio shows, the "Do It Yourself Show" and one of the earliest live Saturday TV shows, "Behind the Lens".
Maurie started the Center for Radio Information www.THE-CRI.com with son Scott and daughter Susan in New York City in 1977 which was later moved to Cold Spring-on-Hudson. Consistantly active in the radio industry for 60 years, he was still working full time at the firm where he was the President of the company. Maurie, who was in good health other than the advanced glaucoma, fell and fractured his hip on Friday June 15, 2001.
Maurie had advanced glaucoma for many years and his eyes were donated to the New York Eyebank for research. If you would like to make a contribution on his behalf, you may send to

| Born in Gibbon, Neb., in 1916, Webster, when at 16, began his broadcasting career in 1932 as an announcer on KVI(AM) Tacoma, Wash. He joined KNX(AM) Los Angeles in 1937, shortly after it was bought by CBS. He was 21, and was featured in Broadcasting & Cable (then Broadcasting magazine) as one of the three youngest network radio announcers in the country. His rise at CBS was steady and ranged from sales to programming to management. He was named GM of KCBS-AM-FM San Francisco in 1958 and, in 1961, became VP and general manager of CBS Spot Sales. He was named VP, division services, for CBS Radio in 1969, leaving in 1973 to join computer billing-analysis firm, Compu/Net. He left that post in 1975 to start his own consulting company, then joined NYMRAD, where he served from 1976 to 1990. Along with daughter, Susan, and son, Scott, Webster also founded research firm The Center for Radio Information in NYC, which was later moved to Cold Spring, N.Y. Funeral Services are scheduled for Monday, June 25, 10 a.m., at St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Cold Spring. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to glaucoma research.
