The photo was taken at the headquarters of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency in Harrisburg the morning of March 14, as the Blizzard of '17 was getting wound up. I was live, in the snow, on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. Photographer Erich Granahan was behind the Newswatch 16 camera. PEMA was sampling newscasts from around the state so it could get a handle on what was going on. It was an honor to be on its list.
I am not one of those people who strives for recognition. I can't remember the last time I entered anything in an awards competition. It was likely decades ago. I show up at work every day with the simple goal of doing the best I can. The rest always falls in to place. Still, it was nice to be noticed.
Thank you, PEMA.
