I have related in this blog some of the adventures and misadventures of my career in radio and television through the years.
But you should know, it wasn't always serious business.

Catalyst, then Senior Producer for KPNX-TV, Phoenix; now retired.
Jim Benneman, then a Washington correspondent for the Gannet News Bureau; now television anchorman, KCNC-TV, Denver.
Al Macias, then a producer/assignment editor for KPNX-TV, Phoenix; now News Director, KJZZ-FM, Phoenix.
Tracey Lyons, then a Washington correspondent and producer for the Gannet News Bureau; last I heard, Senior Producer, NBC Nightly News.
