Sam Donaldson Autographs
Samuel Andrew Donaldson Jr. (born March 11, 1934) is an American retired television reporter and news anchor. He broadcast with ABC News from 1967 to 2009. He was well known as the White House Correspondent (1977–1989 and 1998–99) with a booming loud voice, which could get the attention of President Reagan, amazingly cutting through the noise of whirling helicopter blades. He was a panelist and co-anchor of Sunday's This Week on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC).
Mr. Donaldson was born in El Paso, Texas. He is the son of Chloe (née Hampson), a school teacher, and Samuel Donaldson, a farmer. He grew up on their family farm in Chamberino, New Mexico. This was in the New Mexico Territory when his father had bought it in 1910, two years before New Mexico was admitted to the Union.
He attended New Mexico Military Institute and Texas Western College (now known as University of Texas at El Paso), where he served as station manager of KTEP, the campus radio station, and joined the Kappa Sigma fraternity. From 1956 to 1959, Donaldson served on active duty as an artillery officer in the United States Army, attaining the rank of Captain (USAR). While on active duty in 1958, Donaldson was one of the military observers of an atomic test in the Nevada testing grounds when an atomic device, with a yield roughly equivalent to the bombs dropped on Japan, was detonated three thousand yards away from the slit trench protecting the observers.
