Biography

Early life

In high school, Bill Boner was a basketball player and tennis player for the East Nashville Eagles.[3] On March 13, 1962, his team won the state championship. Boner scored 18 points within six minutes and 48 seconds in the second quarter.[4] He was elected student body president for the 1962-1963 school year, his senior year.[5] He was also elected governor of Boy's State despite not planning to run until the last minute.[6] He and his teammate missed part of the basketball season that year due to injuries from a car accident. A cheerleader from the nearby Glencliff High School cheerleader was critical condition.[7] Nonetheless, he was selected for the first team All-Nashville in 1963.[8] Boner attended Middle Tennessee State University, where he was elected president of the freshman class and played basketball.[6][9] He participated in campus life, including a panel on religion, and gave a presentation called "Decision-Making in Personal Life" at a church's study series called "Moral Man and Moral Society".[10][11] After university, he became the manager of a Shell station in Smyrna.[12] On February 1, 1969, he became the basketball coach for Trevecca Nazarene College and took on a teaching role in the physical education department.[13] During his first year coaching, The Tennessean called the team "loveable losers" for its remarkably poor performance.[13]

Congress

In 1986, Boner came under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for misusing campaign funds, not disclosing conflicts of interest, receiving an undisclosed gift and receiving a bribe from a government contractor.[14]

Mayor

In 1987, Nashville Mayor Richard Fulton was prevented from running for a fourth term. Boner entered the race. He was opposed by managed health care executive Phil Bredesen. Boner won the first round, but was short of a majority. Under the Metro Charter, Boner defeated Bredesen in a runoff and became mayor of Nashville.

Appearance on The Phil Donahue Show

During his term as mayor, Boner made a controversial appearance on the October 15, 1990 episode of The Phil Donahue Show.[15]

Boner appeared on the show with Traci Peel, a country singer in Nashville. The couple were engaged while Boner was still married to his third wife. In the Donahue appearance, Boner played harmonica, while Peel sang "Rocky Top".[15]

Boner and Peel married and divorced.[16]

After term as mayor

Boner did not seek reelection for a second term..[17][18] Following retirement from political office, Boner owned a pallet factory in Tompkinsville, Kentucky, and purchased a restaurant franchise in Atlanta.[17]

Boner returned to the Nashville area, becoming a social studies teacher at Franklin High School in Franklin, Tennessee.[17] He was a driver's education instructor for the Williamson School System.[17]

In 1995 and 1996, Boner hosted a nightly hour-long television interview show on Nashville's WNAB called Prime Talk.
