    I\’m still bummed out over his departure from KDKA-TV. 🙁 I met him at an airshow, spoke to him for a spell. As soon as he returned to his announcing, he had to bring up that he had just met up with one of his \”Safari Scouts\” from his \’B\’wana Don\’ days. That surprised me.

    Thanks for the memory: When weather forecasting had a bit of entertainment value. Even if the forecast was wrong, Willie th’ duck was there to provide some silly comic relief. Some painful puns at times that didn’t always “quack” you up.
