Tex Antoine- wow :scared1:
That's a scary blast from the past!

I had forgotten the circumstances of his "disappearance."

Yes- he was on WABC- channel 7 in NY, but only for a couple of years.
We got to know him on WNBC (Channel 4) for most of his career. He wore a smock and drew pictures of the weather patterns. He had a "sidekick" called Uncle Weatherbee. (I got this from Wiki, and it all came flooding back!)
Wiki also discusses that on air remark that ended his career. :sad2:
 
This was a teensy bit before my time but I asked my dad and he said he remembered him and that he was his local weatherman.

Wow, I remember him too-I was a kid in NJ back in those days. His replacement Storm Field was the son of another local weather guy, Dr Frank Field. I remember thinking that Frank was a pretty mean guy to name his kid Storm...did he want him to get beat up on the playground or something?
 
I remember him too...

I remember "TAKE HUMAN BITES".....:rotfl2::rotfl2:
 

I remember him. I remember the the pencil thin mustache. I THINK I remember that horrible remark too. If I recall correctly, he claimed he was "merely" quoting a Chinese proverb.
 
OMG - talk about the wayback machine.

He was on ABC with Roger Grimsby and Bill Beutel.

I think his explanation was that he wasn't really paying attention to the particulars of the story but:rolleyes:....
