Farewell Angela

Angela surprised me tonight. She has been doing a series of stories on Big Country people who helped her when she first moved to Abilene 5 years ago, and those who have impacted her life since. Tonight, she talked about me. That was very kind.
But, Angela has made a great impact on the Big Country too. She is a hard worker. A reporter, writer, video editor, producer, anchor. She has covered the Cross Plains fires, health issues, the need for a sidewalk at a new Abilene school, bad weather. She interviews guests on KTAB News at 5 who are interesting, provide good information, and do fun things.
And outside of news hours, she helps athletics causes, judges community events, co-anchors telethons. She has played an active role in what we do at KTAB and what happens in the community.
We all wish her well as she stays in the news business to anchor newscasts at 4029TV in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Angela has several days left with us, so be sure and say thanks when you see her around. Angela, Justin and Turner will have a wonderful time with this new opportunity. Our final farewell will actually be Memorial Day.
