I trained Thom Stienbeck....and thought he did the "In Town Tonight" show when I left in early Sept 1968. I also did a GI information show called "Insight".... I don't know who put together the weather each afternoon for Bobbi Keith unless it was Thom.... By the way...has anyone heard from John Mikesch in Seattle?

To the best of my imperfect memory, Thom was never on camera. He mostly ran camera, I think. I’m pretty sure Baldridge also worked with Bobbi on the weather

I was a TV guy... Clown on a kid show and youngest weatherman in the USA when I was 19. Drafted and sent to AFVN. I had a show like the Johnny Carson Show and interviewed all the movie stars....when they came to visit. I also did voice overs for radio...network ID's and other stuff. Produced and set up the weather for both Bobbi weather girls...#1 and #2.

My civilian career included sales manager for a sign on in Greenville SC (WHNS Ch21) in 1984; obviously way after you left but I spent some time in Spartanburg (Spartan Foods/Hardees) and there was a good French restaurant in Spartanburg, probably because Michelin’s US headquarters was there.
