One requirement of my job is to get out and about, meeting our viewers. Let's face it, we're all in sales! The reason we attend so many functions, visit numerous schools, eat chicken at Rotary or Civic clubs, is to get to know our viewers. I feel that we have a great news, weather and sports product at News Channel 3 and I'm not shy about sharing my opinion.
A large part of my job is weather education and I've visited countless numbers of schools through the years. Yesterday I visited Incarnation Catholic School in Collierville and got a wonderful reception from a large group of second graders. I taught them some weather basics, severe weather dos and don'ts, and shared a few of my favorite stories. They listened very well and asked great questions.
Today I served as master of ceremonies for our teacher of the week appreciation luncheon. Throughout the year we've recognized teachers who regularly go above and beyond the call of duty. They're nominated by their peers and in some cases, their students. Teaching has to be one of the toughest jobs I can imagine and it's good to see these special teachers recognized.
