New year, new chapter for me.
This Thursday, January 16 is my last day as a full-time employee at CBS Chicago. I hesitate to call it retirement because I’ll occasionally do pieces for the station, but I won’t be working every day. It’s a big change and I’m excited.
I first walked into a newsroom 47 years ago. From those early days at WGN through my time at City Hall, ABC News and for two decades CBS, I’ve been extraordinarily fortunate. I spent an entire career in my hometown. I’ve had great mentors and enormously talented colleagues. I made close friends who’ve enriched my life. I thank them profusely. And I thank many of you who watched or provided tips for stories or simply offered a kind word.
My heart is full of gratitude.
