I knew Lonnie personally for a while and can honestly say that he is a good, honest and genuine guy. He does not have the overinflated ego that many in his industry have. He cares about his family, friends, and fans. He is exactly like his onscreen persona, something that is surprisingly rare in news anchors. Profesionally, I feel he is better suited to lifestyle pieces and lighthearted morning shows than chief weather caster on the night broadcast. He does well with the weather, but his personality is wasted when he is unable to show his true self. Of course, the evening show is more highly reguarded, so it is great that he has been trusted at this level. I hope one day to see him as a regular weekday morning national anchor.
