Family legend has Marion Mulroney being born in Malden, Washington in the 1800's. He was a stepson to Robert Patterson, my great great grandfather. Marion was working with Marconi in Italy to develop the wireless. He was suppose to travel by ship to Italy for a joint introduction, and just before he left the states, Marconi announced the wireless, taking all the credit. Years before I heard this information, someone called in to a radio show in California and made the same claim about one of his ancestors. Apparently, Marconi was working with a group of people, then jumped the gun to take full credit for the wireless.
Marion Mulroney's history is a little vague, but he ended up in Hawaii and started station KGU, the first radio station in Hawaii in 1922. My uncle Les Hill was in the Navy in WWII and my cousins have pictures of their dad, Les Hill, standing with Marion Mulroney at the base of the broadcast tower. He came to visit Les and the family in Spokane Washington many years ago after the war.
