You wanna be in the show
I see that weekend TV anchor woman Nancy Francis is packing it in at KGW. Last night was her last show. She's going into teaching.
Many a weekend night did she fill us in on the goings-on in the world. All the different sets, suits, hair-do's, and co-anchors; the addition of the eyeglasses; the absences for maternity -- none of it ever changed the image she projected, which was of a smart, knowledgeable, thoughtful person.
But of course, one moment sums up her career so well:

We should all be so lucky as to have a Turtle Moment [bloggers especially!]. Cheers to Nancy. We'll miss her intelligence and dedication to her craft.

Having worked at a No. 4 market TV Station in San Francisco (KTVU-TV)years ago, I found her reporting to be okay, but whoever did her hair and wardrobe should have been fired at least a decade ago.

Interesting to hear that Rasheed Wallace was kind to her daughter...

I, too, was aghast at a few of the changes in those departmnents. But there was always someone very likable talking to me from inside the helmet and the rest of the uniform.
