From up town to down own, a small army of retirees, dressed as they are, gather today to wish another veteran of channel 3 a fond farewell. Time to enjoy the free time and enjoyment with your family. It was great working with you and we both learned a lot from each other. Be well, slow down and relax. The rest of of us are left behind wondering why. Why? Maybe for the lure of the beach, the ocean and playing with the grand children. Where do we go from here? From the Eyewitness newsroom this is Norm Glenn somewhere in the beauty of south jersey reporting live, now back to you in the studio! --- You left your cell phone in unit 16 by the way...
