THE OLD MAN RETIRES!
Thought I'd put a face to the name. . .This is a shot of me and Melissa Scheffler, a news anchor at KWCH-TV in Wichita. . .I was a Director for over 40 years at KWCH, mainly directing live newscasts. . .(We're Number 1 in the ratings, by the way). This was taken right before my last show on March 25, 2016. . .I retired after directing the 10 O'Clock Eyewitness News that night. . .Melissa and her husband were expecting their first child, which explains my hand on her belly. . .The beads, by the way, are from a cool going-away party they threw for me at the station that night. . .This company acquired another channel, KSCW, and I directed newscasts for that channel along with the KWCH shows. . .We also created the first (and only) Spanish-language newscast in the area on KDCU the Univision channel, and I directed those newscasts, along with the others, for the last 5 years. . .I must say, I won't miss directing 6, and sometimes 7 shows a day, but I will miss the very talented, fun and cool people I worked with at KWCH-TV.
