Dan Rather & Jean Goebel – 63 Years

In America, it’s usually soldiers who are considered true heroes, but Dan Rather can be considered one as well. He created the first radar weather report when he placed a transparent map over a radar image. The year was 1961, the radar image was of Hurricane Carla, and Rather’s creation initiated the evacuation of 350,000 people in Texas.

Besides his heroics, he was also known as one of the top three news anchors in America. Before his heroics, he married Jean Goebel in 1957. He has described her as his inspiration throughout his career, and he is still active, currently hosting the eighth season of The Big Interview With Dan Rather.
