Goodbye to a Friend
The guy that is responsible for starting my entire traffic reporting career ( as well as quite a few others) passed away yesterday- John McCarty. One of the best guys in this crazy broadcasting business, John brought a sense of decency and humor to the workplace and gave a very young and unpolished Todd Carruth a job producing and reporting traffic on the air in a top ten market. I am forever thankful for that chance.
I also have a personal connection to John since both our families have members that work in the HEB school system and my thoughts and prayers go out to them this week.
I am still shocked. I tried to call him two weeks ago and he had just left for home.
John, you made me a better broadcaster and a better person and, like so many others, I will miss you.
