Let me tell you about my friend John. No one can give you the facts better - with a human touch. No one can break down complicated material so everyone can easily understand it like he can. He is kind, he is brilliant, he is fair. Today is his last day. You will be missed, John.
For 38 yrs I have had a terrific, challenging & rewarding job. My goal to produce work that was factual, fair & concise. Today I am retiring from Action News. It has been a privilege to work with so many talented people & for such a remarkable news organization.
