Ft Myers Broadcasting

Doug Garrett, a photojournalist for WINK Ft. Myers, Fla., died unexpectedly sometime over the weekend of Nov. 25. A sad irony to his passing is that I heard the news right when I was remembering another WINK employee, Jon Quattlebaum, who died on Dec 12, 1994.

In 1994, WINK Fort Myers sports anchor Warren Flax, pulled off one of the most original, inventive, creative and fun feats ever seen in local television: He went on strike for 103 days.
