See that picture in the middle of the young man behind the microphone? I started in this biz in the mid sixties working for minimum wage, $1.25 an hour. But today, May 17, 2009 I leave the broadcast industry rich in friendships, lessons learned, experiences gathered and something else. I leave the street corner of [...]
Ted:
Congratulations on your retirement!
I have been watching you anchor the news at Channel 5 since 1975. You are my favorite, and no one will ever be able to replace you. I want to wish you and your wife a very happy, healthy retirement and safety in all the travels that you will be doing. Enjoy!
Ted, [...]

(Later tonight I’ll post my Heart and Soul [...]

My husband, who [...]

Hi Reader,
Catch the photo below. See the guy in the middle (the fella holding a glass of water)? That’s Ed Cervenak, TV5’s then soon-to-be GM who hired me in ‘72. He has been just a wonderful influence in my life.
And that’s Garry Harland Ritichie on the right, my then news director. I bought a cabin [...]
Dear Reader,

Your outpouring of support has been tremendous:
Hello Mr. Henry!
Congrats on your retirement! I will miss your spiritual travel reports! I did have the opportunity to meet you and your wife through several of Dr. Nemeh’s services. I first heard you speak at the Christian Life Center for a luncheon years ago. You have been a [...]
Hi Reader,
This old gem is from the blizzard of ‘77. Co-anchor Dave Patterson and I reported on one of the biggest blizzards of our lives that night. You’ll enjoy this for another reason as well. About :45 into the video you’ll see our news program “open” that is shot live showing a wide shot of [...]
Ted, congratulations on your impending retirement. You will definitely enjoy the time you will have to do the things that YOU want to do. You deserve it after 38 years at WEWS (that in itself is more than a lifetime!) and some 44 years in broadcasting.
You are the last connection I have with the WEWS [...]
