Steve Arena and I had similar paths to Portland TV.  We were both interns who, through hard work and good fortune, landed on-air jobs in  a top 25 market right out of  college.  Steve was at KATU for 25+ years. most of them as sports director in the "Good Old Days" of local sports coverage..  He worked along side many TV news legends, and kept is sanity.  He also got out when the gettin' was good, and he's been just as successful in the dry cleaning biz.  I surprised Steve by recalling our first ever interaction, which he didn't recall, for good reason.
