By now, I typically get a specific vibe from reporters who end up doing a great job on the Walk story. Such reporters enjoy their work, and do their jobs very well. P.J. Javaheri put together a great story, as have Ashley Winchester, Allie Cat, Karen E Wink and many others. Local TV reporter Dana Wachter enjoys her work, asks a variety of well-planned questions, shoots from a variety of angles, and doesn't plan to publish the story for days, as she generates a well-created piece--which I'm told typifies her work.

As my host Daniel McCord is currently working on a short documentary project about the Walk, Dana makes Daniel's willingness and generosity to host me in addition to his project part of the story.
