Writers and we dont always associate television with good writing, especially in local news. But you always were a good writer but he wrote in the short form a perspective, what compelled you to tell your story . I had, rick, no idea that writing the book. Never have thought about doing it. Of course, never have tried to do it. When i retired maybe five years ago for the first time hes like the Michael Jordan of local television broadcasting. [laughter] my retirement is often compulsory. As the hair gets a greater, the less management wants to be part of the team. But the first time i retired i was ready to retire but it was after about 45 years in the business, and i just went off thinking about myself. I had been under so many years of such severe deadlines that i never had a chance to even think about what i was really doing to myself and what i did, and, for others to know.
