Saying So-long to News8, It's be a long seven years (tear)

Image
So, today I began to close a chapter of my life and move into another. I'm no longer a producer at WTNH News8 because the family and I are moving from Connecticut to North Carolina. Like most people my age, I've had a lot of jobs with the ambitious goal of moving up the ladder -- better pay, better jobs. Channel 8, as it used to be called is the only place of employment that I turned into a career.. .sticking and staying for a long time. Seven years is a long time no matter how you look at it.
