Dennis Richmond signs off for the last time :(
Man, am I going to miss that guy... Tonight's cast was extremely difficult for me. I've watched KTVUs newscast for a long as I can remember (age 3 probably), and I've only done so because he was on there. 
Greatest newscaster in California.

no offense to him but sometimes me and my brother thought he resembled the devil lol. maybe its cause of his red *** eyes he had during a lot of his newscasts.

QFT!!!
FYI: Frank Somerville is gonna sit in Dennis' old seat. But there is no "filling in his shoes" kinda thing for this Bay Area icon. Forty years is just insane!
I was at my folks place earlier watching the broadcast, and my Ma asked me if I knew what happened to Leslie Griffith. For some reason I thought she did the 5:00 broadcast. I just looked it up & she left a couple years ago. Dayum! Where are my awareness & recognition skills?
Anyway, back on topic...
Things won't be the same w/o Dennis "in" our living rooms.
