As a retired career fire captain with nearly 40 years of service, I have the upmost respect and compassion for Marcella Raymond, the consummate media professional. Often, they see what we see. I not only followed Marcella through WGN, I have had the opportunity to meet her at various incidents as well as some various events. We have been Facebook friends throughout the years. I have lost too many friends through PTSD, sadly I have lost count. Marcella is in my thoughts and in my prayers. June is PTSD Awareness month. I am grateful she has sought assistance and some treatment, to get the vital help she needs. God bless you, Marcella. You know your army of first responder friends and supporters are pulling for you, supporting you and praying for you.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robservations on the media beat: The exodus of executives continues at WTTW-Channel 11: Mary Field, executive producer of \"Chicago Tonight\" since 1996, has announced her retirement from the Window to the World Communications station, effective July 12. \u201cIt has been a great honor to work with the best journalists in the city over the course...
