Employee of the Month

My BFF (Best Friend Frank) is the Employee of the month for January. Let's all say "HOORAY Frank!"

Seriously, this was a big shock to Frank. However, no one else that works here was surprised, honestly.

Employee of the Month is chosen by the department heads once a month.

Frank was chosen for his awesome prediction and coverage of the December 2007 Ice Storm. He had to abandon me Dec. 6 to watch the weather stuff and accurately guage the situation. I was left alone to deal with Sports. He promised me the Storm of the Century was on its way and he had no choice. Who knew he would be correct? Then he worked 12 to 14 hour days throughout the storm and the aftermath. We only had 50% of our Weather team at the station due to vacation and illness. Frank took up the slack, had the storm chasers on-duty and delivered the best storm coverage in Eastern Oklahoma.

Then last Monday night (Jan 7) in the midst of a gallbladder attack, he stayed on-air 5 hours without a break. He made sure everyone in the viewing area was kept updated with all the tornado warnings and severe storms popping up.

Frank, you are the BEST!
