I am in Chicago to make a presentation tomorrow morning to the
National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies tomorrow and I got to see Kansan Bill Kurtis made his final newscast as anchor on WBBM -TV.

Bill Kurtis' tribute newscast this evening. |
Bill was brought to national attention on June 8, 1966, when he told his WIBW TV viewers,
For God's sake, take cover! as the Topeka tornado approached. That is a story I tell in my book,
Warnings. The watches and warnings during the Topeka storm -- combined with television coverage -- was one of the earliest major successes of the fledgling tornado warning system.
