Mr. Highsmith,
I started watching your program NBC 10 @Issue about a year ago and I feel compelled to reach out and let you know what a wonderful program it is. Not only are you an effective and impartial moderator, you’re providing a great service to the people of the Philadelphia region. With all due respect to your colleagues at NBC 10 and the other local news broadcasters, I learn more in 1/2 hour watching your show than I would watching every other local news broadcast for a month! I also think it’s wonderful how you call attention to those kind folks in the community who work hard to make the world a better place, such as your recent program on Wednesday’s Child. Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Mike Nolan
Mike, thank you for watching and for the very kind comment. We’ll do our best to live up to them.
All the best,
Steve
