Personal Information

Paul J. Yacich


I am an AMERICAN of Croatian descent. I was born September 25, 1927 in New Orleans, Louisiana. My paternal grandfather came to New Orleans around 1875 from Supetar (Saint Peter) on the Dalmatian island of Brac in the Adriatic Sea. He operated an oyster lugger in the Gulf waters of Louisiana. My father became the dative executor of a large estate.



I am a retired TV Producer/Director, having spent the better part of my career at WDSU-TV where I started in the broadcasting field as a technician in the engineering department. I joined WDSU in 1947 after serving two years during WWII as a Radio Officer in the Merchant Marine aboard C2 cargo ships, T2 tankers and Liberty ships. In 1950, during the Korean Conflict, I served in the U. S. Navy, in a branch of the Office of Naval Intelligence, stationed at Wahiawa, Oahu, TH. I returned to WDSU-TV in 1952 and became a TV Producer/Director.


I have had the honor and pleasure of directing two Emmy winning TV documentaries and many award winning commercials. In February of 1999 I was honored by the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters who awarded me their Lifetime Achievement Award. In July of 1999 I was inducted into the Greater New Orleans Broadcaster's Association's Hall of Fame.




I was awarded my first Amateur Radio license in 1946 and have held the call letters W5LLJ continuously since then.


Admitted to The Order of The Iron Test Pattern with the dignity of BRIGADIER





I am also a hopelessly incurable netsurfing addict! HELP!

















Always!
