I realize that I live in a cave sometimes - have I missed something...What happens/happened to Chris?

Is this the same Valorie Knight? The address is Springfield, IL so it's likely.

Should we be surprised Journal has made such a move? Not.
Chris Cannon is a great guy who gained a lot of respect from me. I hope he didn't get the Journal shaft.

| I worked with Valorie in the mid 80's at KZKC TV Channel 62. I had only casual passing interaction with her but found her friendly, professional, and recall that she looked good in a bathing suit. She was in the promotion department and appeared poolside in a station promotion about a pool giveaway. Best of success to her and Rex at Journal.
