I worked with Paul Gates from 1991 to 1995 and he was quite a mentor and inspiration for me as a young reporter in my hometown of Baton Rouge.
Paul was also one of the journalists who welcomed me into WAFB TV 9 in the 1980's when I was a little kid hoping to learn the business. He took me seriously when he was the main anchor way back then.
He is a legend that I will truly miss on the small screen in Baton Rouge.
Paul, take care of yourself my friend. You made a difference one story at a time!
Isiah,
ReplyDeletePaul Gates seems to have been quite a professional in your industry.
He also had quite a friend in you for this tribute.
