Reply To: 50 years of RRVARC

    All,

    Several weeks ago Kathy and I were watching the 6pm WFAA-TV weather and saw a pretty funny exchange between Pete Delkus, their chief meteorologist and the other two anchors.  Kathy operated the DVR and I videoed it with my phone.  Then Kathy Tweeted at Delkus and invited him to come to our 50th Anniversary Club meeting on May 20.  I started looking at their website and all of the WFAA people are in high demand as public speakers.  Delkus requires that you will have a minimum of 100 people in attendance.  They replied to me saying that due to the distance involved and other obligations they would not have anyone available to attend, but then I got a really nice video from Jesse Hawila, another WFAA meteorologist.  I think you will enjoy the mashup that I did.
