Sad to hear of Coach Sutton’s passing. Blessed to have been close to the program for a few years and see just how great a tactician, and how effective a leader of young men he was. And he always made sure I was taken care of, ALWAYS asked about my family.

Today marks 30 years in TV. First job was at KXII in Sherman, TX and I started the same day as Don Ward, who’s now a main anchor in Colorado Springs. How have things changed? Don told me today he’s 10 years older than the MOM of one of his producers...
