I took this photo last week around 9 pm.

Anyone know, planet, or star above the moon?

I believe it to be Venus.

I think it's Saturn.

Thanks

For hand held digital at night, after spending time with Chef Geoff at his bar. I think it holds up nicely.

I had heard Venus was going to be out that night.

Dick Goddard said Venus would be the brightest looking light that could be mistaken for a star, and clearly seen.

Where's Ghoulardi when you need him? :}

If that's what God. said, it must be so.

I was looking for something from him and didn't find it.

I had seen Dick Goddard just a that night, or the night before. Odd thing is, I have not seen him in literally 10 years or so. I took my passport and crossed over to the LOCAL TV zone of Cox. Amazing how great Wilma Smith looked, I wonder if she had her face "done", as she looks the same age as she did when first on.

While rambling, I was also lost on many new faces.

I noticed Ted Henry wears western boots ( I collect them and sometimes refurbish the uppers on fine boots if needed or when possible). Leon Bibb looks a bit older but it seems all of the local channels are lacking the pizazz Cleveland TV once had.

Doug and Mona, for those that remember Doug Adair and Mona Scott, had a set that looked better than anything New York had. All Cleveland news shows did, but appears not anymore. When they left Cleveland to take up anchoring in Columbus, I was in Columbus performing in the hotel that they had their arrival party at, the Shereton , and was able to meet them both. They conducted themselves like movie stars on the red carpet, and the gathering was huge, the Governor, and all the local personalities, movers and shakers were there.

Is it me, or is the panache gone from Cleveland television?

Not "if" Mark, but rather "how many"...

Mark-- I presume your reference to "a set" was to the studio?

Mark Crnolatas · Post by **Mark Crnolatas** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 10:27 am

What other type of sets are there?
