I can remember when Marselis married one of the models for Nan Patrick? Abernathys?. And that was a long time ago.
He also did "Dimensions", a 60 Minutes style program on WCAX.
I wonder why Roger Garrity is not taking his spot.

I remember when Richard Gallagher was the evening news anchor.  Stuart Hall was the weather man and Tony Adams was the sportscaster.  Yikes, at least the memory still works!

I think before Richard Gallagher it was a guy by the name of J A Sullivan.  I remember J A Sullivan talking about IBM coming to town in February 1957 and how many people had filled out applications as I was filling mine out in front of the TV.   I do remember him as a skinny kid with dark rimmed glasses in those early years.
