Well I checked. Seems like he does hail from the Show Me state.

Oh well, Texas' loss is Missouri's gain. (or should it be the other way around)?

Thanks for checking.
It's good news...
(It's bad enough having to say Rather is a Texan......)

Uncle Walter did however spend his formative years in Houston, Texas. He graduated from San Jacinto High School, but it might have been called Central High, or South End High when he went there. I think he also graduated from The University Of Texas.

We are usually very proud of out luminaries in Texas, but he ain’t one. As far as Dan Rather is concerned, he was a hack television reporter at channel ll. Well we had a monster hurricane named Carla in 1961, and Rather covered it in a very dramatic fashion. Somebody at CBS saw him, and whisked him up to New York. He was simply in the right place at the right time. If not for that he would have remained a nobody hack, which he still is as far as I’m concerned.
