BOB INMAN Inman Writes Book Charlotte television newscaster Bob Inman becomes an author this week with the publication of ‘A Note In Closing,’ a collection of the essays he has been presenting at the end of his evening newscast on WBTV, Channel 3, for the past four years. The 96-page softcover book is available in stores throughout the WBTV view- ing area. Bob says the publication of the book is in response to viewers’ demand. ‘Hundreds of people have written to ask for copies of particular essays,” Bob says, ‘‘and many have urged me to bring out a book of the most popular ones.” ‘A Note In Closing,’’ began when Bob’s news director at WBTV asked him in 1981 to start writing a personal com- mentary to conclude the nightly 6:00 P.M. newscast. 1 asked him what he wanted me to write about,’”’ Bob says, ‘‘and he said, ‘It doesn’t mat- ter as long as you don’t libel anybody.” So I write about whatever comes to mind -- life, love, politics, nature, families, the adventures of my friend Delbert Earle and my boyhood buddy Booger Winston, world events, and assorted foolishness.” Bob ‘is native of Elba, Alabama and began his career in journalism as a seventh grader at his hometown weekly newspaper. ‘“Many of my essays are about growing up in a small town,” he says. “You just never quite get away from your roots.’’ After graduation from the Univer- sity of Alabama in 1965, he began his television career at WSFA-TV in Montgomery and came to Charlotte's WBTYV in 1970. He returned to the Univer- sity of Alabama in 1975 to work in public relations and earn a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing, then came back to WBTV News in 1979. He co-anchors the 6:00 and 11:00 evening newscasts, and his special reporting assignments have included trips to London and Buenos Aires during the 1982 Falklands conflict, and coverage of the 1984 Democratic and Republican conventions. Bob’s series, ‘Hometown Carolina,”’ which profiles communities in the Carolinas, is a regular feature of WBTV News. His experience as a newscaster helped earn him a part in {the 1983 CBS-TV mini-series ' ‘‘Chief,”” which was filmed in Chester, South Carolina. Bob is also the author of a novel, ‘‘The Cockatiel,’”’ which will be published na- tionwide Iby Little, Brown Publishing Company of Boston in, September, 1986. He says it’s the story of a smalltown Southern newspaper editor and his family, set at the end of World War Two. Bob and his wife, Paulette, are the: parents of two daughters: tenth-grader Larkin and third-grader Lee.
