Most Memorable Assignments:
Hurricanes Ivan and Katrina. I also covered several stories focusing on Alabama's Medicaid policies that cut off care for disabled young people. The laws were changed, and now, people statewide are getting the care they need.

More About Bruce:
After college, I accepted a position with Chase Manhattan Bank in their management training program. After four years, I realized banking was not my calling, and I decided to pursue a career in television news.

Two thoughts to live by: "No man is a failure who has friends." - Clarence, from "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly." - Robert F. Kennedy
