This T-Shirt has been hanging in my closet since the end of the 1ST Gulf War.

My name is missing an ''S" - but, no problem. My TV name is really only my first two names anyway - David Michael.

There are some good friends and talented news people on that list. Most are long gone. They were the ones in place in CNN's "little network that could" days.

A few close friends from those days were left off the list and deserve to be there - Molly McCoy, Patrick Greenlaw and Rick Moore.

Fortunately for CNN - Johnson is gone, too! For those of us in the trenches at CNN he was known by the sobriquet,"friend of the rich and famous."

I may sell this shirt on eBay someday.

It might be of value to someone who remembers how important and trustworthy CNN was when it first started.

There's no doubt they are regaining that trust. CNN has been doing very well lately due to a far better management team. They have some fine new talent on the air - John Roberts, Anderson Cooper, etc. Ted's idea was one of TV's best. I wish he were still in charge!
