I watched James C. Fidler doing the weather for most of the 20 years he was on the air. He was the only weatherman to watch when there was severe weather in Central Texas (which happens fairly often). It was a damned shame when he turned out to be a pedophile.
I got a couple things wrong. There was only 1 “d” in Fidler and he was on Austin television from 1973-83.
It appears he died in 2007.
