I don't know if it's my age, but I feel like so many of the local voices, be news or radio, that are just there every day have been dying lately

Bob Ryan, the retired WJLA meteorologist is alive and well.  Ran into him at Hopkins Ordinary in Sperryville, a B&B with an "ordinary", a cellar drinking establishment in the basement.  They brew some great beers and Bob typically swings by for a growler.  I think he still lives in NoVa near DC but has a place out there.  Friendly and approachable.
