ABC anchor Charles Gibson offered a tip of the hat to a viewer from Washington State for suggesting his network's Person of the Week. He introduced us to Jorge Munoz, a bus driver in Queens NY, who runs an ad hoc food pantry serving 100 meals a day on city streets. Gibson need not have waited for his own viewer. He could have checked out Seth Doane's The Other America series on CBS, which profiled the same Munoz a year ago.
NBC's closer took Ron Allen to the Poconos in Pennsylvania where John Annoni runs Camp Compass Academy for urban teenagers. Annoni is Making a Difference by teaching youth shooting, fishing and archery, "sharing his passion for hunting and outdoor sports."
And Assignment America on CBS featured a reading club that was inspired by Water for Elephants. An odd couple on Boston Common--a "well-healed, high-powered attorney" with a "swank condo in the Back Bay" and a "street-schooled, often ignored, homeless person"--shared the book and started the group. Steve Hartman introduced us to its members and their latest topic, O Henry's short stories.
