Jim worked his way up from the mailroom to production assistant to producer and eventually landed here at WCVB-TV as a reporter in 1972.

He began as a general assignment reporter and eventually moved to anchoring the weekend and EyeOpener newscasts and was co-anchor of the Midday newscast with Susan Wornick.

You must have liked him. But I can’t imagine that he did all that advancing if he were a conservative. Hopefully uou will tell me that I am wrong. I don’t mind being wrong when searcghing for the truth.
