Like most years, 1981 was a year to remember. Raiders of the Lost Ark was the number one movie in the country. Prince Charles married Princess Diana, and NASA launched the space shuttle Columbia the first flight of the space shuttle program. 1981 was also the year a young man named Mark Johnson began his television career.
The big announcement
Mr. Johnson announced Monday during his 4 pm newscast that he will be retiring from Channel 7 at the end of this year. The broadcaster has covered events from the Olympics to the Super Bowl and other epic sporting events. He won a national Edwin R. Murrow Award for his coverage of the Salt Lake City Olympics.
