A Great Storyteller...

If you're a viewer of the morning newscasts on WGAL Channel 8, then you're used to hearing the calming, yet authoritative, voice of Dick Hoxworth. He retires tomorrow after a 40-year career at WGAL.

Channel 8 will air a special tribute to Hoxworth tonight at 7PM, then he'll anchor his last newscast tomorrow morning... 5AM-7AM.

Dick read one of my news stories that I submitted to the Associated Press back in 2001, when a jerk (I'm being nice) stole a cash envelope from a lady at a neighboring bank, then sought refuge in our garage. I'll share the whole story some other time, but I submitted the story to AP, and Dick read it the next day.

He's an outstanding journalist... watch some of his work on WGAL.com. Best of luck to Dick in retirement.

I'm on air 2pm to 6pm today, then off til next Monday. Merry Christmas!

Buckle up,
TS
