How I remember Mo.  I can remember watching the news with him on it.  This is great little piece

Do you know where your children are?  That became almost iconic when you heard it five nights a week.  Our response became, "Do you know where your parents are?"  My mother woke up at 5:00 a.m. for her job at Tuloma Oil and Gas.  They were expected to be at their desks working at 7:55 a.m.  So she was probably already asleep.  Father was probably nodding off as well at his home on Grapevine Lake outside of Dallas.  Jack Morris -- bless his heart.  88 is a ripe old age.

I just forwarded this info to Guy Atchley in Tucson, I remember whenGuy was starting out Jack was still at KTUL. Somewhere I have a picture that I got from Tulsa TV Memories that has Jack, Guy and Cy Tuma. If I find it I will post it.

RIP Jack.   :(

Cy Tuma! We liked him as well. I remember when Jack Morris had a billboard in the late sixties downtown with a head shot and the phrase, "Jack Morris...Fiery Commentator!" It wasn't very common for local TV personalities to do editorial comment after the news.

I see in this video it's Jerry Webber and John Hudson. I remember when John passed suddenly in 94 or 95.
