10 Things You Might Not Know About Susan Dunn

Now, I’ve known Susan for a long time and our friendship goes way back. We really do have quite a bit in common and yet there is enough difference to keep things hopping when I hang out with Susan and her husband, Jerry.

I sat down with Susan the other day and had her share with me 10 things that people may not know about her. I guess I know her better than I thought since none of these came as a surprise to me.

I should tell you that the way she comes across on the air is exactly who she really is. She’s actually that sweet and naïve. I constantly have to explain all my off-color remarks and she never fails to be amazed at just how rotten some people can be. A lot of her friends refer to her as, “Susan Dunn, the Baptist nun.”

Trust me, it’s a highly accurate description.
