Dollar was born in Humboldt, Tennessee to Dick, a farmer, and Pauline, an English teacher. When he was a boy he would play with crystal radio sets and homemade transmitters.

He also operated the control board for University of Tennessee football broadcasts.

Many people will help take care of their needs, depending on who their parents are and how they chose to fulfill their roles.”
