Jane Pauley: Mainy

Speaking of the 'Today Show', I always loved Jane Pauley. She was a co-host during the 70's and 80's. I never watched it much after she left. She was classy, brainy and great looking. And, as I recall, she didn't cry like a baby on her last day like Ann Curry did.

Jane went out like a champ, congratulated her replacement, Deborah Norville, and even presented her with an alarm clock, telling her, 'You'll need this.'

Norville, by the way, was a ratings disaster and was gone within a few years after numerous attempts at reshuffling co-hosts and downsizing her role on the show.

I miss ya, Jane. Thanks for making those cold, gray and drizzly Portland mornings a little more bearable back in the day.
