It is still hard.
KRQE-TV's helicopter pilot/reporter Bob Martin died in the crash of Sky Ranger 13 this past weekend.
Bob was a newshound.
He could smell news.
He knew news.
He knew what the people wanted to know.
He knew how to tell a story.
We are all better informed today because of Bob's work.
I recall giving him a ride late one day from Santa Fe to Albuquerque, we were both young guys covering news at the state capital. He was then a student "working" for the Eastern New Mexico University TV station.
They did a really good job of teaching and Bob learned the tricks of the trade.
TV news today needs more Bob Martin's.
Fly On, Bob!
