THANK YOU MARY
Posted 5/20/2010 2:03:00 PM
Sadly, Mary Richardson will be stepping down this week as co-anchor of Boston's longest running local nightly news show 'Chronicle' after 25 years. Not only has Mary become a fixture in the Addams household every evening at 7:30…she is late night TV for me! Mary is truly one of the warmest people I've ever encountered in the Boston media. For many years now, Magic and WCVB-TV have co-sponsored Holiday Lights on Boston Common. Each year Mary, Anthony Everett, Nancy Quill and I have been shivering together under the beautiful tree. Mary always had the unenviable task of assuring us not to be afraid of the camera! She always did a fantastic job of putting us ‘microphone and studio-bound types’ at ease. In addition to bringing us the 'Main Streets and Back Roads' of New England each week, Mary hosted the Pops 4th of July concerts until recently and has won an accolade of awards for her work as a broadcaster and reporter, including the Exceptional Women Award 2008. Channel 5 is honoring her departure with ‘The Mary Chronicles', reflecting back on her time with the show. Mary will surely be missed, but she assures us that leaving the show does not mean retirement. However, my late night viewing will never be the same. Mary, I wish you all the best!
