## Resource

Sonny Elliott, a beloved figure in Southeast Michigan, captivated audiences with his engaging weather reports for over six decades. His tenure as a broadcaster was marked by not only his meteorological insights but also his penchant for humor and relatable anecdotes. However, few were aware of his harrowing experience as a prisoner of war during World War II, where he served as a morale officer. Following the war, he returned to Detroit and became a prominent television personality, steadfastly choosing to remain in his hometown despite numerous offers from larger networks. Elliott's legacy endures as a testament to his contributions to local broadcasting and community spirit. ___________________________ Produced by  Michigan History Magazine
