Abstract:

Carl Goerch terminated his 28 year span of broadcasting with his \"Carolina Chats\" program on radio station WPTF. Goerch, founder of The State in 1933, is something of a legend in Eastern North Carolina, his voice easily recognized by radio listeners. Goerch was known for his many practical jokes, including the report of a UFO during an airplane flight from Wilmington to Raleigh.
