A true legend. He inspired me to go into journalism myself. I dreamed of working with him one day or just editing one of his packages. My mom interned at the station years ago and told me awesome stories. Congratulations Pat!

Pat is the only newsman I’d want to hug.

Congratulations, on the longest Journalist & News Anchor for 50 years in the DMV area. May you enjoy a new chapter in your life and enjoy days off from working extremely hard everyday for the last 50 years.
