Congratulations! I worked with Alicia at WAAY back in the early 90s (don't know whether she remembers) when she was reporting from the Shoals and I was producing the 6 and 10:00 newscasts. Ah, to be young and underpaid again :)
She's a smart and funny person, and I hope you both will be very happy.
