When he was first starting out with WWL, he came to speak to my class at Kehoe about the weather. I was in maybe 4th grade. This thread makes me think I need to grow up

We are probably around the same age. I remember his first day on the air... i was home sick from school and my paw-paw (RIP) came over to watch me. He ALWAYS watched the noon, 5 pm, and 6 pm WWL news. Anyways I was in the dining room eating soup or something and he had on the 12 pm news and this doofus with a bad haircut and glasses comes on to do the weather. He proceeded to mispronounce about 2/3rds of the city names during his weathercast. And my paw-paw said, "get this yankee off the tv!" He definetly acclimated himself to the area over time.

It's amazing the things you remember 3 decades later, and yet, I can't remember stuff from yesterday.

Not sure. Nash was just ready to stop being on tv every day. But Carl, if this medical issue prevents his ability to see and analyze, I don't know what more he can do. Unless it's just to be a calming presence and someone else does all the analysis and he just reports it.

Sad to hear about his eye condition. That sucks. I've always liked him.

Maybe, just maybe Laura Buchtel would be willing to make a comeback!

He will be missed on WWL AM, FM and dot Com.

Scoot looks to be doing better at home recovering last from week.

Can Fox 8's Robin Cohen come back? Lucy Bustamonte screwed up by getting married--it was her downfall.
