This is what Larry had to say about staying with WHIO for the next 40 years:

“I can’t imagine myself not doing it. I’m very fortunate that I’m in good health and the job itself is not physically demanding, the hours can be trying at times but I guarantee there are people who are retired that aren’t sleeping as well as I am.”

Later today on News Center 7 at 5:00 p.m., you can see a special tribute to Larry’s 40th anniversary.
