Whatever happened to Ruth Kent?

I fear I roused the cats too early as they now are both lapsed back into sleep, Claudette curled at my feet and Alex sprawled under the light on the cabinet.

I bring last evening's drowsing thoughts into the new day.  (I am finding all kinds of benefits to limiting severely the time expended on cable "news." )

There on WSB's  the 11:00 p.m.  news was John Pruitt, Monica Kaufman (now Pearson) and Glenn Burns.  How long have they been there? How reassuring that they are.

I remember John's father,  Mead Johnson's "Mr. Pruitt," from 50 years ago.  Lord knows how many babies survived because of Mead Johnson's policy of charity.  Mr. Pruitt never turned down a request for Enfamil for a poor baby.

WSB (Welcome South Brother - bet you didn't know that's what it stands  for) and TV hadn't really been around that long.

Then I got to thinking about how much I miss Ruth Kent on the morning show.  She talked about Atlanta and interviewed every prominent and many not so prominent Atlantans. Affirmed that we shared the same town.  I miss her.
