Wonderful man..great thinker and orator. He befriended Sonny Bono and advised him during his time as a Congressman. One of the best eulogies ever was that which he gave at Bono’s funeral. A great loss for all...

RIP to Mr. H...
I remember listening to George Putnam on radio...He passed away many years ago...Putnam talked about meeting Bruce’s parents in Minnesota...

Only SoCal got to enjoy George. He was a pal of Ronald Reagan and a lot of old Hollywood. Some great stories there.
I had the ability to listen to his show daily. George used his show to let us to hear a wide variety of activists and conservative writers at a time when they had little media access. The era before today’s Celebrity Conservatives who talk much but usually accomplish little.
By contrast George’s little program played a role in passing Prop 13 and Prop 187 and jump starting the immigration control movement a decade before our big name broadcasters would lift a finger. The late great Terry Anderson first got involved as a phone caller to George’s program. And George used to feature phone reports from a young reporter in the Inland Empire, one Sara Carter.
