Radio voice and educator Bob Long passes the torch to former student

After 44 years as a full-time communications teacher at Streetsboro High School, and as the general manager of the school’s radio station, WSTB 88.9 FM, Bob Long is retiring from full-time teaching, and is passing on his position as the station’s general manager to former student Corey Teuton. He’ll move to part-time teaching next year for two years.

Long, 76, started out in radio as a freshman at Akron University in 1968, before the school’s station changed from WAUP to WZIP. After graduation, he became the news editor at WHLO in Akron from 1969 to 1972. From 1972 to 1979 he was the news editor at WKNT in Kent, now WNIR.
