Catherine Heenan and Pam Moore; Vern Glenn and Vicki Liviakis; KRON Dignity

I wanted to acknowledge some special people at KRON.

As much as I ridicule and scorn the goings-on at 1001 Van Ness, I have to admire the senior producers, the news writers, and editors for making the most out of less than admirable conditions.

I also want to acknowledge some on-air people like Catherine Heenan, Pam Moore, Vern Glenn, and Vicki Liviakis.

Heenan is a class act. A total consummate pro and a very nice person to boot. Since she arrived at KRON over twenty years ago, she's been remarkably consistent and does a very nice job anchoring the news.

Pam Moore is also a delight and always manages to deliver a quality newscast; same thing for Vicki Liviakis, who I know from her radio days at KFRC.

And Vern Glenn is a top-notch sports anchor, always smiling and giving you his best. "Mr. Involvement" is no gimmick--I always thought that was Vern being his usual gleeful self.

And Stanley Roberts? The "People behaving Badly" guy? Damn, those segments still crack me up! Funny stuff.

As an aside, a quick memo to the KRON rank and file: Under extraordinary circumstances, most of you do a helluva job. You don't need me to tell you that--You already know. I have nothing against you guys and you also know that, or you do now.

The other dudes and duddettes, that's another story, but we're not going there. Today, at least.
