The Oracle of Bowdoinham strikes again!  WMTW-TV is the place where 
veteran anchors have gone to die for decades.  It *can* be a good stepping-
stone (Christine Caswell and Jonathan Hall of Channel 7 and Karen 
Marinella of Channel 56 come immediately to mind) but as a destination it's 
the pits.  I bet Neila wishes she had stuck to helping fat tourists sweat to 
the oldies at Club Med. :)

Hey, why not complete the circle and reunite John with Michelle Gillen (last 
seen in a pagoda with Tritia Toyota at Channel 2 in L.A. )  Gillen is probably 
best known for reporting the infamous exploding gas tank expose on 
Dateline NBC.

Maybe Saga will take him back--again.  Either that, or he becomes a 
customer service rep for MediaOne in Dover. :)

Take care,

Chris
