WNAC-TV 1981

I worked there one summer and they had the bowling alley in the basement. I 
 always ran the camera with the contestant in the garage. It is where they 
kept  the news vehicles  and it always smelled of auto exhaust.
 
Speaking of exhaust, we used to record the announcements on a cart and  
Leif Jensen would make the announce booth look like he was in a cloud  bank. He

I never saw Gamere or Joe drunk but did see them with killer hang overs.  
Gamere was nasty with everyone when he had to deal with the public with a 
hang  over.
