Viva Las Vegas!






Good-bye, Dave Johnson!

Hello, Las Vegas!


Dave Johnson has been with WIBW TV for a while now -- more than four years. He made folks in northeast Kansas eager to get out of bed in the mornning. Before the announcement was public, I was among the email recipients who got the news that Dave's last day was Thursday. Broke my heart!



I've joined Dave and Amanda and Drew, and sometimes Josh Mabry, many times. Always Dave was a gracious gentleman, and just plain fun.



He will be missed. I did not make it to Thursday's party because my services were needed in Winfield at the Walnut Valley Festival, but Monday's appearance with Dave and Stephanie Ramos was bittersweet knowing it would be our last together. While in Winfield, the question I was most often asked was, "Hey Dixie, where's Dave going?" (These people obviously do not tune in every day, but hey . . . .)



The upside of this transition, of course, is that Dixie Lee is lobbying to be his first guest in Vegas!



TV in Sin City will never be the same. Good-bye, Dave! Eat your veggies!!!
