If you haven't heard the news yet, today is my last broadcast. I'm leaving the windy city for the Queen of the Orient.. The Paris of the East.. Better known as Shanghai China.
My husband has been offered a huge opportunity within his company so we (including Jack!) are relocating to China at the end of this month. There are lots of exciting and slightly scary adventures ahead of us but I will truely miss Chicagoland.
I came to CLTV about 3 and a half years ago and it has been a fantastic journey. Between this station and our sister station WGN, I have been privileged to cover some major Chicago news events and it has been a difficult decision for me to leave it.
I want to thank all of our viewers for tuning in to watch over the years, and hope you continue to do so. CLTV is a great place for news whenever you need it and I think great things are on the horizon.
I will miss everyone, but I hope you see me.. and I see you again in the not so distant future.
Good luck to all.. and stay safe.

Amy:
I was out of town when I heard the news.
As Senior Editor of the CMN, I have had the opportunity to phone in some news items and spoke to you a several times.
You will be missed by all; colleagues and viewers alike.
Best wishes to you, your husband and Jack.
Be safe.
All the best,
Neil J. Cacciottolo

Amy, I remember you very well from your days at WATE. I wish you and your husband the best in the Orient. Stay safe and have fun.

I was wondering why no new blogs, then this!
Opportunities like this are rare so I'm happy for the both of you. (Ok, Jack too!)
I wish you both the best of luck and all the wishes this new adventure brings.
Also, don't be a stranger writing. It would be great to keep in touch.
Warmly,
Paul

As someone who first worked with you back in your SIU days (I was behind the camera for the River Region Evening Edition while you were in front of it), and then working with you once again at your short stay at WSIL-TV3, it was nice to see a very familiar face make it up here in Chicagoland.
Whatever your future plans are in China, make sure to keep Saluki Nation in the know. Keep in touch with the Alumni Association... here's hoping I'll be reading about your next successful venture very soon!
Best of luck,
