It’s become one of my mantras - the news never takes a holiday and that includes birthdays. So that means that we try to go out of our way to make birthdays special at the station. On my last birthday, there was breaking news that meant coming in early and leaving late. But, several people from the station took the time to celebrate with me a few days later.
Today is Ron Steele’s birthday! And in true fashion, we all took the time to try and make it special. The sales people came down and decorated his desk with toilet paper. We had a cake. And Tara and I tried to sing Happy Birthday. And of course Ron had plenty of birthday comments on Twitter and even some on our Facebook page.
While he says he wants to forget about his birthday because he doesn’t like being one of the oldest guys at KWWL, he still had a twinkle in his eye when he blew out the candles.
I thought the pictures and video were worth sharing because it’s a little glimpse into our KWWL family and what goes on behind the news.
