remembers Rebecca Randall. "... I did a morning show on WESH TV in 1980 with Rebecca Randall...the most fun I think I've ever had in TV.  Rebecca and I did an hour from 6 to 7 am...even danced on the air on one occasion.  We were a couple that WESH had a hard time reigning in...BUT THE VIEWERS LOVED US..."  "...Rebecca was one of the loveliest and nicest people I have ever worked with, in this business.  We could hardly make it through the news reading portion of our show without laughing or going off the deep end..."
