and I get to work with him! Huge kudos to Michael Convery. The Associated Press just named him best TV traffic reporter. He'll pick up his first place award next month during a big
shindig on the Oregon coast.

Michael told me he's humbled and honored to be recognized but around here we've always recognized his hard work and talent. He's been getting folks where they're going for 15 years in Portland-- the last four here at NewsChannel 8!

One thing you may NOT know about Michael is that he gets cold feet--- not about being on
TV.. I mean.. he gets COLD FEET in our heavily air conditioned HD studio.
This morning I noticed thick, white socks peeking out from his suit slacks and he 'fessed up
to the reason behind this "fashion statement." : )
Dave Salesky couldn't resist snapping a picture

Congrats again, Michael, on the best TV traffic reporter award. Well deserved!
You can catch his traffic reports Monday through Friday on Newschannel 8 at Sunrise from
5 to 7am. He's also watching the roads during the Today Show. Catch his updates at 7:27am, 7:57am and 8:27am.
