I actually believe this was from his final broadcast at KIRO. If you look closely, he says "last words when we come back"... There's another clip with his "last words" ever spoken on KIRO News here on YouTube somewhere, and he's wearing the same suit & tie.
Yes it was. It's on my page where I have the start of that newscast... the newsreel you commented on, and of course his farewell to local news in Seattle on KIRO.
This was before he went to ABC News. He later went to CNN & became a popular anchor there. He had resigned from the network last year. We wish him the best!
Does anybody have more clips of the Newsreels from that era, especially the old footage?
