5Viewer 1 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 John was one of the best anchors here in Chicago, and will be missed. I uploaded a video of Joel Daley talking about John Drury's death and some vintage WLS promos on YouTube. I had to cut out in between one of the promos to make sure the video isn't past 500MPG.

Amra 130 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Rest in Peace Mr. Drury. I was just checking in wikipedia about him yesterday. A great loss for Chicago. As Diann said last night: "My favorite song by John(Drury) in the studio was "Sweet Dreams Baby". Well tonight the same to you my friend." - Diann Burns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
former newsboy 50 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 There was some nice sentiment in Diann's piece on Drury, but what really struck me was how self-serving it was. She managed to make it all about her - you woulda thought she was the one who died. Every shot of Drury at the anchor desk included you know who. Couldn't she find any with Mary Ann Childers who, btw, was his co-anchor for 12 years - 4 longer than her? And what was the point of that clip of her talking to Janet Davies and, big surprise, poking fun at Jerry Taft? What does that have to do with John? And who cares about her wedding pics? I'm not saying she shouldn't have reflected on John's passing - quite the contrary. But there's a tactful way to do so - like the way Mary Ann Childers handled it in Mike Flannery's piece. No surprise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
