Ann Curry

I hope to include information on the Web Page to remind us all of some of the great journalist that we have been privileged to know and work with.

During my time at Columbia Square many a "great" and "near-great" reporters moved through the channel 2 news room. As TD, of the Big News (c. 1960s-70s), and in the mid-to-later 1980s, while working sound in ENG, I had the opportunity to work with many of these people. Most were not only good reporters but also good people. Ann Curry is near the top of my list of professional reporters who were also very caring and considerate.
