Jim Bohannon Ex-Wife: Who Is Mary Camille Skora?

Jim married his first wife, Mary Camille Skora (who generally went by “Camille”), in late 1970.

In 1976 the two began hosting the morning program at Washington, D.C.’s WTOP radio.

However, the station owner did not want the show to be labeled as a “husband and wife team”, so Camille had to adopt the pseudonym of “Laura Walters”.

The next year the two moved to middays at WRC, now “The Bohannons”. In 1980 the pair left the Washington area to work mornings at station WCFL in Chicago.

At the time of the move, Camille was quoted as saying: “People ask how we can be together so much, but my answer is that we’re making up for the first five years when I was a DJ at night and Jim did news during the day and we never saw each other.”

However, the couple eventually divorced. Camille went on to become a noted broadcaster, with a long career at the Associated Press and United Press International.
