I'm starting to wonder at this point if Dick Goddard is immortal or a cyborg or something. Here's to many more years.

He may be on the air until he goes to that Great Woolybear in The Sky. The same thing pretty much happened with Dorothy Fuldheim... she was at WEWS every day until she tragically suffered a stroke at her desk.

 

It should be noted that Dick has reduced his on-air presence to the 6pm weeknight newscasts in a Johnny Carson-type ceremonial schedule. Melissa Mack and Andre Bernier do the majority of work on WJW's evening newscasts, especially in the event of severe weather.

Vanessa Herring, most recently of WROC in Rochester, has since August been freelancing at WUSA in DC and WBAL here in Baltimore.

 

Today she filed two reports for WBAL in there 11PM broadcast. Her first story led the broadcast was breaking news where she reported live from BWI airport about a Southwest Airlines flight which had a bird strike during take off which forced the pilot to declare an emergency and return back to the airport. The second was about a Ferguson protest in Annapolis where she interview the mayor.

 

Then I discovered when looking at her twitter feed she covered a story at WUSA this morning but it didn't pan out. She was at the DC courthouse where a groper of a 12 year old girl was expected to go on trial, but the trial was delayed until next week. Consequently she didn't have a package but appeared in a short 28 second VOSOT during the noon news.
