Sure, it's easy to make fun of Ron Mounts now, but had I seen this cat back in 1983 I'd have followed him around until he let me fondle his microphone cube, or at the very least rub his shiny jacket. Alas, that opportunity is lost. Thank God there's North East Ohio TV Memories, a living compendium of news station photographs from around the Buckeye State. I only wish there was an equally worthy shrine from my neck of the homeland. Now if you'll excuse me, there's a few Polaroids I have to destroy...

I'm looking forward to the laughter.
