I remember this. Hard to believe it was 11 years ago. I was just 13 at the time. By the way, is pink dress shirt and jeans the usual attire for a weatherman?

[indylre]

lol. Craig had been up in the helicopter all day. I am not sure why he grabbed a pink shirt though.

[indylre]

Craig was best-man at my wedding. What most people do not know ...is that I called Craig that morning of the flood to tell him Belski was on the air. He had fallen asleep in his basement and the station had been trying to reach him on his beeper! He jumped in his Porsche 944 and was at the station in record time!

funny, the radars back then look so primitive now, don't they?
