When I was a kid I thought she was the most beautiful woman on TV. As I grew up, I thought of "Mort & Carmen" as both part of the family, and sort of the voice of God. Since the role of news anchors, in relation to the news, station & community is highly diminished nowadays, there will not likely be any more Carmen Harlans. Kudos to a long and distinguished career, Carmen, and for staying in your hometown. I am sure she had offers elsewhere. Thanks for the memories. Enjoy your retirement [[and going to bed at a reasonable hour).
