What is there to say about Pat Callaghan? Well...a lot. He spent 43 years at NewsCenter covering everything from governors to presidents to the Challenger disaster and the ice storm. He's got more class in his pinky finger than most of us have in our entire body. Although, to be fair, the pinky has a higher concentration of class than any other part of the human body. But, anyway...

He recently retired from his distinguisted career in journalism. He talks about that career, who is permitted to spell his name "Patt" and why, and being a mentor to so many journalists. Plus, he plays "Smarter than Dan," and Dan and Diana answer your e-mails (which you can send to [email protected]).
