• The WXYZ News Water Promo

  Who remembers the “famous” WXYZ News Water Promo.  Taped in the garage and at a neighboring high school pool with a underwater training window, it was a blast to do.  Tom Polk was the master mind.

  
  Cameo appearances in the outtakes include Larry Paulus, Don Ritter and Alan Sieger. Terry Pochert in the scuba gear.
