News4LA 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I remember him when he was doing his reports on the Channel 4 News. In fact this morning on Good Day LA, Steve Edwards said that NBC4's Fred Roggin orignally gave him the "Earthman" name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
