    There were 2 great Chicago news anchors I remember while growing up in the 50's and 60's. Fahey Flynn and John Drury. They both knew Chicago and served the people well.

    As a boy in the 1960s in Gary, Indiana, I would sometimes stay up late and watch the 10:00 PM news on WGN (years before it became a superstation). He was the first TV news anchorman I ever knew.

    John Drury worked at a time three Chicago stations (WBBM, WLS, WGN). R.I.P. John.

    I was born a week before Drury retired from WLS-TV.. Got a bit his voice before Ron Magers stepped in. It's been 10 years already. Continue to rest John.

    When I was in college, my class visited WGN studios just before his 9 pm newscast was about to start. Despite the flurry of activity, he walked in cool as a cucumber, took his anchor chair, and stopped to greet us warmly. He was very kind and encouraging.

    I watched both Jack Taylor and John Drury as a small child! Can you imagine kids today watching the news. But I must admit that I had a crush on John Drury. And I was in kindergarten, first grade! I loved the way his hair sweeper. But I grew up listening to real reporters. Not the sad and hate filled bias no news of today.
