NBC4-LA's Fritz Coleman took off his weathercaster persona at the March 28 PPB celebrity luncheon and put on his standup comedian's robe to regale attendees with stories about PPB's two honored guests, Colleen Williams and Chuck Henry. In attendance at a front table were many of those who direct NBC4-LA's news gathering and on-air presentations. Later in the day, Chuck, Colleen and dais member Alex Calder had their hands full describing a very slow-moving police chase from Alex's helicopter view. And that evening, Chuck and Colleen reported several non-stop hours of La Habra earthquake coverage. It was a busy day for them! (David Keeler photo) |
