About Dee

Dear Friends,

Four decades ago I started a most amazing journey as a brand new employee of KTVB Channel 7 in Boise, Idaho. I had no idea then how much I would love my job, my co-workers, my new home and this great state. That love has only deepened over the years as I’ve met so many of you while covering stories, grocery shopping, attending a concert, putting gas in my car - everywhere I turn there you are being friendly and treating me like a neighbor and friend.  It’s been incredible, and I’m thankful for every day that you’ve invited me into your home whether on air or online.

40 years has flown by and I can hardly believe it’s been that long, but that makes me realize that the next 40 (give or take) will also fly by.  So I recently retired and I’m tackling a long to-do list that mostly revolves around spending more time focused on my faith and enjoying family and friends, but also includes learning boogie-woogie piano, putting on a killer grandma camp this summer for my grandkids, and maybe getting those alpacas I’ve joked about since they wouldn’t stop giving me kisses during a live shot from our local fair. And of course I will always stay committed to advocating for foster children in Idaho.

Life is a grand adventure, and I’m looking forward to this next chapter while cherishing the past.  I am blessed beyond measure and thank you for making my career at KTVB more than anyone could ask for. On June 6th I signed off for the final time, but I’ll be seeing you here on my new blog focused on the things most important to me- my faith in God, nurturing my relationships with family and friends and searching out ways to improve the lives of children in foster care.

With a grateful heart,

Dee
