The Boss.' That's who Bob Wynn was. The boss of some two hundred shows divided amongst NBC, ABC, CBS, and PBS from the 1960s to the 1990s. As hard as it was to negotiate the muddy waters of network management, high-school dropout Bob 'Boss' Wynn demanded-and received!- total control of the shows assigned to him in his freelance work. No television exec traveled the globe more than Wynn, but it was not always for programs. Those were times of unrest...I spent years doing things I never did, in places I never was, and for people who did not exist... Yet his proven success and value to the networks couldn't save him. His refusal to sit still while bigotry abounded was his undoing. And his replacement...well, that's a whole other story. Stranded and betrayed by those whom he had protected and helped, Wynn had to find his own place, a new place, in the world. And he's never given up. I am a dreamer. Lack of success was never a failure to me. It was another step to the next successful step in the process. That's how dreaming works. One step at a time. One town at a time. One job at a time. Each was not necessarily a step up. But each was step forward.
