Goodbye 2007, you certainly kept the mobile newsroom rolling.

We welcomed the year with frustrated employees at Foxwoods Resort Casino. Many made-good their New Year's Eve sick-out threat. Before Casino preparations were underway for New Years Eve 2008, dealers would approve union representation by the United Auto Workers. In 2008 you can expect more recruiting by other unions.



A year ago spending $2.24 per gallon for fuel was outrageous! Today I spent $3.52 per gallon for diesel in my Jetta and wonder what I'll be saying a year from now, $4.52???



Some of the more unpleasant news highlights covered this past year by the Southeast Connecticut News Bureau of WFSB - The murder of a New London package store owner; The death of 3 babies under the watch of their caregivers; The infestation of flies in several communities last summer! Yucckk.



There were a host of pleasant news highlights too: Electric Boat getting Congressional funding for 2 Submarines per year!; The Huge success of the Cruise Ship Task Force- delivering an unprecedented number of passenger Cruise Ships to New London Harbor.; Take your daughter to work day- my daughter Taylor became the Eyewitness to Eyewitness News and Dad in action. Then there was the return to Gillette Castle of actor William Gillette's restored electric engine after 60 plus years!



That was just the news portion of 2007, what about behind the scenes at WFSB? A pipe burst in the basement of Constitution Plaza nearly taking Channel 3 off the Air. But thanks to a truly dedicated team of broadcasters and good community neighbors we stayed "ON-THE-AIR".

WFSB turned 50 and moved to a new state of the art broadcast facility in Rocky Hill.

"Better Connecticut" is launched with Scot Haney and Kara Sundlund!



On a more personal note; our oldest gets married, another graduates from Fordham, while the youngest steps into kindergarten. Phewwwwwww! I need a break. CYA in 2008!
