No one else...NO ONE ELSE...deserves the honor more than you, Ken. After all, you're the 'hardestworkinguyintv' (no time for punctuation even!). I remember some grand times at Channel 10 and 5 years at the old "half dozen". I could use another one of our signature, late-nite breakfasts. Congrats on the Silver Circle! I guess, in RI terms, you've now had "a time". You deserve it. God Bless, Larry

Congratulations, seems just like yesterday when you were doing play-by-play for the Panthers and then borrowing suits for your first TV gig! Will never forget sitting in your Mom and Dad's living room with you and your brother watching the astronauts land on the moon. Congrats again! Deb Cummings Crago, Kimball NE
