I know Mark Danon before, he is now the weekday morning news co-anchor for KRON-TV's KRON 4 News in San Francisco, California.
I still miss the great Ira Joe Fisher: very funny, very entertaining, very intelligent, and the very best when it came to reporting on the weather and especially sports - I have no interest in sports and always change the channel whenever the sports segment is on, but I'd always watch when Ira was presenting the sports report. I hope he's doing well.
