Does anyone have a picture of Amy? That's half the fun of this feature.
Yay! Dates...
I once had one of the first Severe Weather handbooks that Channel 7 produced back in the 70s. Ron Sherman was on the front cover.
On the back cover, they had Ron Sherman, Steve Barnes, Amy Oliver, and Big Sam Smith in front of the newsdesk.
I think it was John Belushi who said... "To-ga, to-ga, to-ga!"
Thanks so much for your post, pretty helpful information.
This will not actually have success, I consider this way.
