Re: [IRCA] the passing of Pete Wilson

Marty,

I can't answer your question as I watch little TV.  Sports events, Jeopardy & a couple children's shows when the grandchildren are here.  I did read several articles in the San Francisco
Chronicle about Pete's death.

To those of you not familiar with the Bay Area I should clarify that this Pete Wilson was the anchorperson on local KGO-TV.  A very good one it seems.
He is not the Pete Wilson that was Governor of California a decade ago.
