Born February 24, 1922, "Bunny" or "Bernie" as he was known to family and friends, attended Central High School and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville before enlisting in the military during World War II. As a sergeant in the Army Air Corps, he was one of a small group of men stationed in the Pacific Ocean near the Solomon Islands who were working on a project in conjunction with "Manhattan Engineering" to install revolutionary, new, top-secret radar devices on B-29 bombers, one of which was the "Enola Gay", which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan just a few days after its radar unit had been put in place. After the war he joined WREC radio and was involved in the early days of television in Memphis when he joined WREC television (Channel 3, now WREG) in 1956. He retired from the station in 1989 as operations manager. Mr. Cohn was preceded in death by his father, Bernard Cohn, who was editor of the Memphis News-Scimitar newspaper from 1921 to 1928 and his mother, Louise Halle Cohn, whose grandfather, Solomon Halle, founded Oak Hall in 1859.
