Captioning the image, he explained: "I was 13-years-old, I had written to the local news people in my town and they began writing back to me and that was my first visit to the TV station. I began interning, carrying the tripods, and the equipment. They hired me out of college. That was where my first job was, Channel 5 in Syracuse."
