Why did pam saulsby leave

You don't see the vulnerability that makes her self-possession seem courageous. But a lot of it is just the maturation of an already-mature woman, Pam Saulsbyme. Incredible as it sounds, Saulsby claims to be shy. In family photo albums, I'm always hiding my face behind my mother's skirt.

But this may not be as clear to her friends as she believes. Growing up in Riviera Beach, Fla. After beginning studies in speech pathology at the University of Florida, she decided she lacked the patience and detachment for the work and switched to communications, based on an aptitude test.

After earning a B. She felt secure in Miami and she liked the beach. Sometimes, in order to grow, you have to go. It got whiter and younger, and I'm neither of those things. But she admitted that she had been through a "rough patch," resisting changes in the station's presentation. For example, she clashed with a consultant over a mandatory new hairstyle she hated. Saulsby eventually tried to get on board with the new direction.

I even called the consultant and apologized. I thought things were smoothed over. Then she was called upstairs and told that she didn't fit with the station's new direction and could leave immediately if she chose. She stayed for about three more months before stepping aside for Debra Morgan.

On Saulsby's last day, her brother Harold flew in from Jacksonville. Everywhere I went that day, [Harold] sat with me. That meant the world to me, and he said it meant the world to him, because I chose him.

I wonder if he was in pain even then. Saulsby's brother was there at the beginning of the struggle, but he passed away from complications of heart disease in its midst. As his health deteriorated, Saulsby was able to visit him frequently in Jacksonville. But such silver linings weren't abundant. I lost a sizable income, and different people who had been in my life no longer were, as if what I had was catching.

My circle of friends got smaller, tighter and more real. Saulsby met Melinda French when she walked into the bank where French works and saw a sign on her desk that said "Marine Mom. She wanted to know how my son was doing, but also how I felt as a mother. We talked about the struggles I had when he first decided to enlist, when he went to Afghanistan.

Her heart was in the news and she didn't want to leave Raleigh. Saulsby pressed her connections to find work in teaching, public relations, journalismanywhere she could use her knowledge of the Triangle.

I was competing against younger people who would definitely be cheaper to hire. I'm not a regular watcher of 17 news so I won't miss her. I vaguely remember her on Ch 5 but I don't know why they didn't renew her contract.. I heard from someone in-the-know that Pam Saulsby left WRAL because she was told that she could no longer wear sleeveless tops during the newscasts because they didn't want her arms exposed.

Those were some of the first comments I read after the story broke yesterday Start New Topic. More Options. That men can go gray or balding and add a paunch with no ill effects. I'm not a regular watcher of 17 news so I won'tmiss her. Not sure about anchors but for field reporters, the bar isn't too high on Channel 14 TWC news. They're young but hefty.
