Gary Lapierre's Replacement

[Doug Drown]

I've sometimes wondered if Greg Jensen is related to the late Jim Jensen,
who used to be an anchor at WCBS-TV in New York and was in Boston for a
short time before that (at WBZ-TV, if memory serves --- but that was a
looooonnng time ago --- early '60s, I think).
