      Kelly, great to hear from you! Profile has been udpated. Believe it or not, I’ve worked with you a few times during the beginning of ENG while at WXYZ. Remember the little edit room on the second floor just across the hall of the newsroom at the time? I’ll drop a private message via email as well. Terry Pochert, Web Editor.
