Send us Fan MailThe John Bonsignor Interview with Councilman Cam Crawford (Part 8 — Season Two Finale)Personalities and Politics (B): Rep. Mark Kelly, Governor Henry McMaster, and Closing ReflectionsIn Part 8 — the Season Two finale of our John Bonsignor series — we bring this remarkable set of conversations to a close with a wide-ranging discussion on public service, leadership, and the people who helped shape modern Horry County.Joined once again by Councilman Cam Crawford, this episode explores the realities behind elected office — from the responsibilities of the job to the often-debated question of compensation — and what it truly means to serve at the local and state level.At the center of the conversation are two towering figures:• Mark Kelly, the former Myrtle Beach State Representative whose influence on the development of Horry County — particularly its tourism growth — left a lasting mark on the region• Henry McMaster, widely regarded by many as one of the most consequential governors of the modern era, whose leadership and long career in South Carolina politics continue to shape the state todayBut as with so many moments in this series, it’s not all politics.In a brief and endearing interruption, Betty Sue Bonsignor makes an unexpected appearance when a television in the background suddenly comes to life at full volume — a lighthearted reminder that behind every public life is a personal one. Her quick visit — and gentle nudge to keep things moving — adds a human touch to a conversation filled with reflection.As the episode draws to a close, each participant offers final thoughts — not just on politics, but on the man at the center of it all.John Bonsignor.A broadcaster. A community leader. A friend.What follows is a heartfelt expression of appreciation for the role he has played in the lives of so many — and in the civic life of Myrtle Beach and Horry County. For a generation of political figures, Bonsignor wasn’t just a host — he was a constant, a sounding board, and a trusted voice.This final chapter is about more than personalities and politics.It’s about legacy.And bringing a remarkable story — and a remarkable friendship — full circle.Theme song is  Produced by Danya Vodovoz, link to my song   https://youtu.be/NRxduUMZcdw
