Okay so this post is going to be weird...

This is the artwork I saw on my way to dinner tonight. It was on the front of a house on 24th St in The Mission. It was an homage to Dennis Richmond, former Bay Area news anchor. Dennis Richmond had been on KTVU for 40 years. He was definitely my favorite news anchor and he retired earlier this year. I also had the opportunity to meet him a few times while I was working for the American Heart Association. He M.C.'d a lot of our events. He was about 60 years old when I met him but so handsome and very fit. My roommates constantly made fun of me for my mild crush and major appreciation for he and his work. So big ups to Dennis Richmond!

Here is the artwork: I apologize this isn't a better pic:


And here's a photo of the man himself:

NOW:and THEN:


I'll miss you Dennis...
