I really disliked him. He was actually a democrat until 1970. I never understood how North Carolinians could keep voting him into office.

I guess I don't associate WRAL with Jesse Helms anymore because that was so long ago. The Goodmon's have done some good things like help to revitalize downtown Durham.
