Brudnoy wrote a food column for the Boston Phoenix and had the inside story of every course, all the wines, etc. The arch diocese had brought in good catholic chefs from the best restaurants and Dave knew hem all.He even knew what china they were using. Norm Nathan the all night guy had the Boston Symphony string quartet that played for the Pope before and after dinner along with the opera singers who sang for him. The best guy on the coverage was Dan Davis our sports guy, play by play of the Pope. We lost dan to the early ESPn about a month later. Vin Maloney the morning news guy was out standing. Vin was the MC for the opening of the JFK library and was a Kennedy favorite. Vin was the guy who said Teddy had a folding chair with his name on it in every parish in Massachusetts!jagernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-91292177203615401792012-07-10T20:24:48.510-07:002012-07-10T20:24:48.510-07:00Reminds me of covering my first Presidential Visit...Reminds me of covering my first Presidential Visit. Nixon calling for a meeting with Lugar back in the era of Revenue Sharing. Fred Heckman directed our continuous coverage. I was at the airport for the arrival and departure.

First stop Boston. We were an AC with a strong news department. In the meeting i said "I'll be god damned if I'll play be playing a Tony Orlando and Dawn record when the Pope shows up in Boston. We went "All Pope" the entire time Pope was in Boston, 36 hours. We even brought in priests as color men. We buried WBZ. Sponsor's loved it and we all worked the entire time. I never even saw the Pope, just a glimpse as he drove down Boylston Street.Jagernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-55334600921322933922012-07-10T16:30:04.737-07:002012-07-10T16:30:04.737-07:00The Newsroom on HBO.
