Bob Wooton was an engineer at KTCB-17 / American Heritage Cablevision for many years, focusing on the production and news department. We can look back (now) and laugh at the times when a 3/4-inch tape would get stuck and the cries of "Where's Bob?" could be heard. Of course, a phone call to Dirty Harry's would be made and Bob would be found...
