Oregon Media Insiders

I believe Lee Wood was an excellent Chief Engineer: That being said, I would not say he was a good manager. There is a difference. Yes, his office was always piled high, and the shop always looked like an EPA super fund site. Having a clean shop was obviously not high on the priority list of the succession of GM's down through the years, or they would have done something about it. What Lee Wood provided was excellence in engineering design and troubleshooting, and he kept up with the rapidly changing technology of broadcast TV. He was able to engineer & design many technology changes over the years, which we all know that the view offices of any TV facility never give you enough time & resources for, and incorporate them into the plant at 222 SW Columbia, an ugly location that short sighted people years ago bound the station to for eternity. Good job, Lee! I hope that in the rush to bolster the corporate bottom line that his years of service earned him a decent severance, if not a lot of respect!
