In 1973-75. Lewis Coury adds: "I used to live in Cincinnati, < Ohio, and there was a popular story at the time that Letterman < was fired from his job as the weatherman on one of the < Indianapolis t.v. stations for making fun of the veteran's < memorial in downtown Indy. The memorial is a tall column in < the center of the downtown area, and supposedly Dave referred < to it as a giant asparagus, 'the state tree of Indiana.'" < Before that, the same station used him as the host for a < Saturday morning kids' show and the late-night movie and he < briefly served as news anchor. Another source says Dave < once reported that the city was being pelted with hail < "the size of canned hams" and enthusiastically congratulated < a tropical storm when it was upgraded to hurricane status. < Oh, and once the satellite weather map omitted the < superimposed boundary line between Indiana and a neighboring < state (Ohio, I think). Dave noted it and dryly added, "I, < for one, do not approve." --- > A.
