Bill Kaczaraba, who headed three different newsrooms in Seattle and was most recently the digital news editor for KIRO 97.3, is leaving Seattle and moving to Florida. He is an alum of the U. of Miami. I love this line from his bio at MyNorthwest.com:
While at CNN, he was instrumental in producing the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, the Tiananmen Square uprising, and Gulf War I. I think someone left out the words COVERAGE OF after the word producing.
As if any of the current generation know what Challenger was, where Tinanamen Square is or the factions of the Gulf War. Try explaining VHS and floppy disks. Millennial here.

ReplyDeleteBill was on with Spike, when Spike was doing nights. He came across as a really knowledgeable and genuine guy. I miss having Spike at night, I think he doesn’t miss it a bit.
