A special night
Sometimes in the news business, we get to be part of something cool and special, not just the negativity that seems to overwhelm us most days.
We were part of something special this past week with the Chris Cagle story. If you haven't heard about it or read it, you can do check out the video, story and photos here.
Sometimes a story lives up to its hype, and this one certainly did. As we prepared for the story during the course of the week, the thought did cross our minds that maybe this was too good to be true.
But Cagle, the country music star, delivered when he took Victoria 17-year-old Danielle Corder to her prom on Saturday night, giving her a night she'll never forget.
And sometimes, we in the news business get to deliver to our audience good-hearted stories we soon won't forget either.
