In addition to WHAS, Barry Bernson has been a morning anchor on WDRB Fox 41 for several years. You can see a picture of him in his work clothes in today's news roundup at http://louisville.com/content/louisville-news-hell-or-high-water-edition.... He was also on AM radio in Chicago when I was a kid.

Actually, Eve, I worked for WMAQ-TV (NBC) in Chicago from 1976-85. Never was on the radio there. BTW, I covered the very first Dainty contest back in '71 as a reporter for WAVE-3!

I stand corrected!

My apologies, sir! Your name still rang a bell to me and so that was it. Congratulations on coming full circle with the contest.
