Signed off at WGN this weekend after a 43 year run. That's a pretty great career.

Him, Jackie Bange, Rich King, and Jim Ramsey have been anchoring that weekend newscast since I've been like 10 years old.

He always seemed classy and professional. Same with his daughter.

Speaking of which, I'd like to make a Tad sandwich his daughter and Jackie.

I took a picture with him and my kids years ago at a Bozo appearance in Rosemont. He was there covering it. He held my daughter & I held my son...very nice man.

honestly, i always found it amazing that he was never one of newper's mustache heroes. if you factor in longevity he's arguably the #1 mustache in the history of chicago, no worse than top-3/5 at the absolute lowest.

My parents were mainstays of his 9pm Sunday newscast, so I'd usually watch a couple of minutes if I was over there visiting. Classy guy. I love what he's doing in his retirement (interviewing Alzheimer patients before they get too bad, so there's an oral history).
