Conversations With Maine host Frank Ferrel sits down with former Washington Bureau Chief for the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Richard Dudman. He was in the motorcade when President Kennedy was shot, and later accompanied President Nixon to China.

Richard Dudman continues to see old Washington friends at the annual Gridiron Dinner and travels to St. Louis once or twice a year to see former Post-Dispatch colleagues. He and his wife, Helen (she serves on MPBN’s Board of Trustees), are in good health and hike almost every day in nearby Acadia National Park. They spend the warm months at their summer place on Islesford (Little Cranberry) Island.
