Some might say that WGN is the house that Tom Skilling built. For decades, he’s been there for you and for us. He’s so much bigger than the station.
Wednesday was a bittersweet night. But we all know that time brings about a change and it’s time now for Tom to move on to more meteorological adventures.
Tom Skilling’s dedication, honesty, and loyalty are bar none. He’s always the smartest one in the room and yet one of the most self-deprecating people you’ll ever meet. For 45 years, we’ve laughed and cried with Tom.
So, for our one last hurrah, photojournalist Mike D’Angelo and WGN Evening News anchor Micah Materre spent a very cold and wet Saturday with Tom, who talked for hours about the love of his life, his career at WGN and what has been his biggest fear.
