When news of the Mayor's scandal broke, I found myself in a morning news meeting wondering more about who the young man at the center of the scandal is. Who was he and why did he find himself in the middle of all of this? It was brought to my attention that he worked as a leasing agent at "The Wyatt" in the Pearl District and at that moment, something clicked.

I had met Beau Breedlove when I first got the job at KGW when my mother a...

I spent Thursday 8/07/08 covering Oregon National Guard soldiers in the desert south of Boise, Idaho.

Its amazing what those men and women are doing on a daily basis---without a single complaint---at least none that they shared with us.
