Today is the end of an era, the end of an icon. I grew up in Dallas, and really have watched Channel 8 news that entire time. I remember some bow-tied weatherman starting in about 1978. I remember some drunken sportscaster named Dale start soon after that. Behind the desk was always Tracy Rowlett. I have always like him, and today is his last day on the air. Tracy left Channel 8, waited through his no-compete clause and came back to work at Channel 11. I will always remember his Channel 8 days. I did not follow him to 11, but I know there are many that did. Dale Hanson will be retiring soon too, I am sure. All of the newscasters I trusted as a kid are moving on. I just hope Byron Harris sticks around a little bit more too.

What that really means is that you are getting old, Mr. Graybeard.
