Enterprise Story: Surprise Homecoming
8.26.11 - This is a story I literally stumbled upon while I was shooting highlights of the Bellevue East verse Bellevue West football game. I arrived at half time, with the intention to shoot a few highlights of the 3rd quarter and head back to the station. Instead I shot this story, got some highlights and went back to the station. I arrived back about 9:30 and edited this package in 30 minutes. A fast turn but certainly worth the effort given the value of the moment.
