From Newsgroup: alt.obituaries
His uncle Allen was the famed electrical engineer who developed a better cathode ray tube and made millions, and the founder of the DuMont
Television Network.
Bruce DuMont was a Chicago television and radio producer and broadcast
host and host of the syndicated Beyond the Beltway political round
table.
He founded the Museum of Broadcast Communications, whose exhibits have
been in various locations and have had years-long gaps in which
everything was just in storage. He gave up his broadcast career
(although continued guest hosting and his syndicated show) to run the
museum. They own the Charlie McCarthy puppet and Chuck Schaden's
old-time radio program collection.
I was there on opening day. I knew him slightly through his museum
activities.
