I’ve always looked forward to the weekend news with Jordan and Amity. I thought they work together as a team very well. I know people move on, however, I’m going to miss her on weekends fortunately we still got Jordan.
Amity will fill Margaret’s Larson’s shoes very well and I’m happy for her. I guess now I’m gonna have to use on-demand to see her.
Jordan, I always look forward to you giving your report. I feel sad you are leaving us. I understand why you are going back to Florida. I wish you success and a good family time. I love Florida.
Take Care,
Alfredo.
Hi Jordan. I enjoy your work. I’ve wondered if your husband (or you) might be related to Rev. David Wilkerson?
