April 21, 2016 - The year was 1978, and a man born and raised in the Mount Herman Community of Shelby County joined the KDET family, sharing his great voice and the gift he had for music with the listeners of the piney woods of East Texas.
The man is James Paul “Squirrely” Wilson. For 38 years, he was dedicated to his job at KDET. James Paul truly enjoyed working with the greats such as Dan Dellinger, Jack Mack, Gene Fields, Jack Bell, Mattie Dellinger, and Vance Payne.
Now we can list James Paul with these great radio personalities as he announces his retirement from Center Broadcasting. As James Paul signs off we can say, “what a ride, and thanks for coming into our homes for the past 38 years.” Our mornings will not be the same without you Squirrelly. You will truly be missed. Center Broadcasting salutes Mr. James Paul “Squirrelly” Wilson…for outstanding service and for being the voice of KDET mornings for 38 years.
