END OF AN ERA: The world’s longest-serving TV news broadcaster is retiring after 58 years at 13WHAM ABC. Many of us who grew up in Rochester can’t remember a time when Don Alhart wasn’t our local anchor. 🎤 Don has covered the news with curiosity, empathy, and ethics. 🗞️ He mentored so many journalists over the years. He was a role model for me (even following in his footsteps to Ithaca College). 👨🎓 Don is a bright light in the industry. ☀️ Happy retirement, Don. You’ve earned it. #DonAlhart #RochesterNY #LocalNews #IthacaCollege
