D-FW anchor dean Clarice Tinsley caught amid vintage love fest with TV hand puppet :)

It required something of an archaeological dig. But at last we've unearthed a 1978 promo for Milwaukee's WITI-TV that has glimpses of Fox4's Clarice Tinsley in her last year at the station before heading here. WITI also was the longtime home of Albert the Alley Cat, a wisecracking hand puppet who worked the weather segments before later segueing to sports. See the video here, complete with a climactic, festive dinner table scene in which Tinsley breaks bread with her fellow WITI personalities, including slap-happy Albert.
