Drag Racer Mark Winterbottom
John took a guy pumping gas, a parked car, and some home video to tell this story for WJAR about a drag racer.
H.S. Football Live Shot
Preview of a high school playoff game including the "tease" leading up to it.
"Hoop it Out" Live Tease
John probably thought of this line beforehand. But, back then John said a lot of things extemporaneously. Some of them were even good.
Naked Mole Rats
John's boss moved him from sports to feature reporting. On John's last day at WJAR in June of 1995, he did this story about a convention of scientists who study nature's unique mammal, the naked mole rat. Unfortunately, the live intro on the set did not survive.
Katie Gill
A story about a 17-year-old Rhode Island girl with Cystic Fibrosis, who graduated near the top of her high school class academically, played sports, and was the school's homecoming queen. Shot on the day of her graduation.
