Whatever happened to Larry Mendte? I always thought he was going to make it big in a sitcom. I still have tapes of those "How Come" reports he used to air on Channel 8. I remember for awhile he was the host of Access Hollywood and then he disappeared. Anybody know wher he is/ I'd love to see him come back to town and shake things up again.

I remember when he did the weather at Channel 8, he was a bit too wacky. I thought he was trying to follow in David Lettermans footsteps (David did weather on a station in Indiana and he was wacky then too). One time he ebarrassed Stan by calling him a "Stud-muffin" on the air, Stan turned red (right through the makeup).

News8 in the late 80s
All great people, but one of the WORST anchor teams in the History of San Diego!
A sports guy who didn't do hocky (and seemed to hate sports), a weatherman who'd rather tell jokes than do the weather, plus a revolving door of side-kick female anchors (one who was always depressed, another who yelled at people and smoked like a chimney, and a third who, lets just say it, won't be teaching at Harvard anytime soon).
Stan Miller's hair back then looked like a helmet he could replace, and Hal Clement, though one of my favorite people in San Diego, Just didn't mesh.
And don't forget those hideous graphics they had (is it too early blam Chyron for those?) Plus the most lifeless news intro package I've ever heard!
All great people, IMHO, but AWEFUL chemistry!
I think the set up they had just before Loren and Hal defected to KGTV, was the best they had before KFMB fired everyone else, and went to the new fast pace setup they have now.
I do miss Mitch Duncan, and it's too bad what happened to him. His health went down so fast nobody even saw it comming.

I won't match the names to the remarks.
But here are some ladies that worked there from around that period:
Susan Rosegen, Allison Ross, Lena Nozizway (incorrect spelling, sorry).
