Cynthia Kaump
I was hired by Joel to fill in for morning news when his anchor took off time. I had the honor of being in the booth with him a few times. Not only is he witty, bright, fun... he is also one of the kindest most professional souls I have ever known. It was honor working with him. I would look for any chance to team up again. Any organization would be served well hiring Joel Dearing.
