Bio
Eric Lancaster
George was fair and even handed in dealing with the reporters at KQMS. He was always open to input and routinely trusted and guided his reporters to do their best to get the stories on the air concisely and accurately. George was not afraid to get in and do the "dirty" work either. He could often be found right next to us getting the story as well as seeing to his other duties as News Director.

I worked with George for several years. One could always count on him to be the consumate professional in performing his duties. He is bright, thoughtful, consistantly strives for excellence and is coachable. I can, without reservation, highly recommend George Tharlson !
